I'm having an weird problem with google admob api for android.... I dont know exactly how and when but it start creating too many threads and end up by crashing the whole system. I got this error in production and still not able to reproduce it in dev
this is the stack:

this stack doesn't say too much is just generic but if i take a print screen of my crashlytics dashboard:
and this goes over and over and over if i scroll down according to crashlytics there are 1024 threads at this moment
does anyone know why it is happening
is use: api("com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:17.2.1")
this problem happens in around 5% of the sessions IN PRODUCTION what is around 1000 times PER DAY
i wasn't able to reproduce in dev. but i didn't change anything in my code or updated the app in weeks ==============update==================
i'm 100% sure this was a google's issue (as it always is), i did absolutelly NO CHANGE and the crashed decreased 90%
google never admit their mistakes but it happened at same time that firebase stopped accouting my admob revenue (out of nowhere) and the same came back without my intervention
