Restrict wp_tag_cloud to most recent n posts?

Perhaps this older post will help: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/wp-tag-cloud?replies=13

That’s close, but sorting by term_id would only get me the most recently created tags, not the tags from the most recent posts.

I’ll try messing around with a custom query to see what I come up with.

I agree with Dnorman. I’m particularly in need of this feature, and sorting by term_id won’t help. I saw some older posts of three years ago, requesting the same thing…

And I haven’t found any plug-in that makes the magic. Some cloud tags here and there, but none of them could take only the tags of recent posts…

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
