Why My useEffect Kept Cancelling Itself

1. 1Identify the useEffect hook that is cancelling itself
2. 2Check the dependency array to ensure it is not causing the hook to re-run unnecessarily
3. 3Verify that the hook is not being unmounted or re-mounted unexpectedly
4. 4Use the React DevTools to inspect the component tree and identify any potential issues
5. 5Apply a fix, such as adding a dependency or modifying the hook's logic, to prevent the self-cancelling behavior
