Zero events have been tracked for this crash in 14.6.1 since it was released 9d ago on Apr 22, and it looks like the Tags on the issue are showing that the latest release we recorded an event for was 13.8.

Number of events recorded in the last 90d: 1900
Number of users affected in the last 90d: 27

@malinajirka how would you feel about closing this one since we haven't seen any events in the last 90d recorded for v13.9 or higher? Is the 1900 events in the last 90d still enough of a concern to keep it open to look into later?

Okay to close? cc @oguzkocer for a gut check for cases like this in general, the numbers are very low and the issue WORDPRESS-ANDROID-1S alone is only affecting older releases limited to Android 8.1.0 and only in version 13.8 and below of the app. However, it's also worth noting that a search for "Invoking subscriber failed" in Sentry currently returns 277 issues, and the top two, ordered by frequency, https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-FluxC-Android/issues/1524 and https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/issues/11491 look resolved in the linked GitHub issues but open in Sentry.

@designsimply If it's not happening in the last 3 major releases, you can safely close and resolve the crash in Sentry. This is because we'll get the crash again in Sentry if it happens in a newer version. Also, when you're in doubt, do prefer resolving the crashes for that same reason.

We'll be auto-resolving old crashes with a script soon, just need to find time for it :)
