Response from Ivan:

it means that the server still has this client ID and the client has the inbox running and can reply to the server check. It could be that the app got NATS disconnected and incorrectly tried to recreate the STAN connection (without closing the old one)?

Todo:

Look at logic when nats needs a restart, streaming that use that should be shutdown
