[🐛] Bug Report Title - Ads stop showing after about a day or so.

What happened?

Hello,

My interstitial ads stop showing if the app hasn't been closed for about a day. To clarify the app will be running in the background and foreground for about a day, and unless I completely close out of the app and reopen it then the ads will stop showing completely. I've tried calling: mobileAds().initialize().then(adapterStatuses => {}).catch(err => setIsLoaded(false)); once every 4 hours, this did not work.

I am now trying to force a reload of the component whenever the app transitions from the background to foreground. I'm unsure if this will work though.

The ads are being triggered from a redux state change, in order to limit ads being shown every X minutes. I've tested this function, and the state is updating just fine, and once again works for about a day and then completely stops showing ads. Once I close and reopen the app, the ads begin showing again.

I'm completely lost on why this is happening, and have come to the conclusion that this is a bug with the library.

Has anyone else had this issue, and a potential fix?
