! Missing $ inserted R markdown

I had running scripts in R Markdown to produce .pdf documents that included figures in the outputs. I have run them for a while with no issues.

After updating to RStudio 1.4, I am getting the following error when trying to create the .pdf output using Rmarkdown:

! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text> 
                $
l.225 ...files/figure-latex/unnamed-chunk-6-1.pdf}

As suggested in https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging, I have followed the steps updating my R packages and tinytex, but the issue persist.

Any ideas what is generating this issue and if it is related to the update to RStudio 1.4?

Thanks

You have latex that isn't properly closed. This generates the same error. A donut will cost you $5 \int with tax.

If your intention was to make latex, you gotta close the expression with another $. Or if it wasn't, you gotta escape the backslash with another backslash. \\int.
