Unsubscring Using Subscription ID

[bkr32]

In the docs https://web3js.readthedocs.io/en/v1.3.4/web3-eth-subscribe.html#subscribe
a return of the subscribe function is subscribtion.id , the docs mentions as follows

subscription.id: The subscription id, used to identify and unsubscribing the subscription.

however i have been unable to find any information relating to the same.

How can subscription.id be used to unsubscribe a subscription

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, at first glance it does seem like subscription.id is unused, as unsubscribe exists as a method on the subscription instance. I do not have the availability to confirm this, but someone from our team might

@spacesailor24 after hours of pondering, I came to realize that the subscription.id is only used when calling unsubscribe directly to the intended subscription, I'm not quite sure if this is a intended behavior or if subscription.id actually was intended to be called to unsubscribe a subscription ie unsubscribe(subscription.id) or similar

@bkr32 Is this still an issue?

@GregTheGreek if it is at all possible to call unsubscribe using the subscription.id it'd be great, however if this is unsubscribe's intended behaviour that's fine as well, just hope it can be clearified in the docs since i was under the impression that there's a method in which we can pass said id to unsubscribe
