Front wheel or back? I’d be ordering a new one but i’ve definitely ridden wheels with cracking around the spoke before.

Yeah if you don’t mind it exploding on a hard hit.

Get a new rim or wheel en route. If you ride this one in the meantime, baby it. A nipple could potentially pull through, which can rub some paint off the frame or “engage the frame brake” unexpectedly.

Order the replacement, but it’s likely been going for a while, it’s unlikely to suddenly fail.
Once you have a replacement, you should immediately rebuild the wheel
