I am experiencing an issue with a Rewarded Interstitial ad unit implemented in my application.

The Problem:
Despite the official Google AdMob documentation clearly stating, "Only skippable ads will be served in rewarded interstitial ad units," my users are frequently receiving video ads that are non-skippable. 

While test ads are consistently served as skippable ads, (like the image below)

live (production) video ads are frequently non-skippable. These non-skippable ads display a close/skip button only after the full video duration, or sometimes not at all.(like Rewarded Ad Units)

Platform: React Native (targeting Android/iOS).
Library Used: I am using the  react-native-google-mobile-ads  library and the  Rewarded Interstitial ad  defined within it.
SDK Version: react-native-google-mobile-ads: "12.3.0"
Mediation Used: No. I am only using AdMob demand.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the Mobile Ads SDK Support team.

Since React native implementation is not in the list of the supported platforms mentioned above, we will not be able to support.

Thanks,
