How serious is the impact, how many languages are affected in practice? And what is your suggestion, create a new message just for this specific case?

How serious is the impact,

An incorrect punctuation is used.

how many languages are affected in practice?

At least zh and some other zh-based languages, such as nan, cdo, gan, hak, yue or lzh (well traditionally Classical Chinese doesn't use punctuations, but zh_classicalwiki, as well as newly published books targeting ordinary readers, uses them) are affected.

what is your suggestion, create a new message just for this specific case?

Include the punctuation in the message saying "bytes added"? (I assume "days ago" is from human timestamp)

So currently text near mobile-frontend-diffview-bytesadded / mobile-frontend-diffview-bytesremoved is lego work. This message should be written as:

"mobile-frontend-diffview-subtitle": "$1 {{PLURAL:$1|byte|bytes}} added, $2",
"mobile-frontend-diffview-subtitle": "$1 {{PLURAL:$1|byte|bytes}} removed, $2",

and say in doc that $1 is byte change and $2 is a human timestamp.

(In reply to Liangent from comment #4)

"mobile-frontend-diffview-subtitle": "$1 {{PLURAL:$1|byte|bytes}} added,

$2",

"mobile-frontend-diffview-subtitle": "$1 {{PLURAL:$1|byte|bytes}}

removed, $2",

Different keys of course.

We could consider using an icon for date and use the icon as punctuation
