This letter investigates the problem of tracking solutions of stochastic optimization problems with time-varying costs that depend on random variables with decision-dependent distributions. In this context, we propose the use of an online stochastic gradient descent method to solve the optimization, and we provide explicit bounds in expectation and in high probability for the distance between the optimizers and the points generated by the algorithm. In particular, we show that when the gradient error due to sampling is modeled as a sub-Weibull random variable, then the tracking error is ultimately bounded in expectation and in high probability. The theoretical findings are validated via numerical simulations in the context of charging optimization of a fleet of electric vehicles.
