Windshield chip worth repairing or no?

Got this small rock chip on my windshield. Would this cause any problems down the road, or is it fine to jus leave it alone? Appreciate any feedback thanks!

I would get it fixed to reduce the chance of that turning into a crack. I had Safelite out to fix a chip I had and they did a nice job.

Ditto. Typically those chips are repaired for free, no deductible, because it's cheaper for the insurance company to pay $50 now rather than $850 later.

And I'd rather have a chip fixed than have some dude replace the windshield with potential other issues (leaks, falling rear view mirrors, rain sensor issues, etc.). BTDT

Thanks for the feedback guys. I contacted my insurance and they said they'll help me deal with it.
