Closing my oldest card dropped my score 28 points, still annoyed

I finally shut down that Capital One card I'd held since 2016 because the annual fee went up to $95 and I barely used it. But my credit score fell from 742 to 714 in one month since it was 40% of my credit history length. Has anyone else taken this hit and seen it recover after 6 months, or should I have just paid the fee?
