Should I stop ads and close my game to rework it, or keep it public?

I ran sponsors for about 4 days and realized a bunch of stuff I need to fix, ranging from console errors, maps not being the best, players being confused, stats being low. Now I’m not sure what’s best to do.

Should I stop all ads and close the game while I rework everything, then relaunch and start new ads later?
Or should I just stop the ads but keep the game public while I change stuff?
Or is it better to just keep ads running while I update?

I honestly wanna do the first option, but I’m mainly worried about how this affects my game. Like when I relaunch it, will the algorithm or discovery of my game still be affected by the results from my first launch, like does the bad stats from the first version stick around or drag the game down later or is it really a new beginning?

Stop the ads and fix whatever you need to fix while keeping the game public

But if I keep the game public, wont it keep feeding bad analytics to my game since people might start coming from home recommendations after a bit?

Bad game analytics don’t really matter just keep it public because there’s no point in taking it down after spending money on advertising
