    This really should be a priority for 2021 and 2022 as people need to release admob updates before the jan16 deadline.

    This is a pretty critical issue especially since the google admob "New Consent Management Platform requirements" take effect January 16, 2024.

    Which basically forces people to do a release before then and this issue is critical to get fixed asap so we can meet that deadline with time to spare.

    Sorry, my earlier comment was inaccurate (and I don't seem to be able to edit it).

    Correction: I did **not** experience the problem in LTS 2021.3.2f1

    For your info, I have the same problem with Google Mobile Ads SDK 7.1.0, so it is not only 8.5.X.

    Also, I can confirm that I experienced the problem in the following Unity versions:

    LTS 2021.3.2f1
    LTS 2021.3.33f1 (the latest 2021 LTS)
    LTS 2022.3.14f1 (the latest 2023 LTS)

    ...and I finally managed to get rid of the bug by switching to

    LTS 2022.3.9f1 (your mention above that "Not reproducible in: 2022.3.9f1" was a life saver to me)
