Plunging didn't pull it out, and a coat hanger didn't so anything; but I
flushed after trying those, and it seemed to flush normally.

Nope, it was okay at first ,but now is back to its old ways.

I'd try a closet auger-- a super strong snake/crank tool-- that has a
plastic protector so it won't scratch the bowl like a hanger will;-)

I've rarely had an obstruction that this handy tool didn't get rid of.
They're under $10 at your favorite home center store.
