React: Too many re-renders

What you may see

The page freezes or shows an error about too many re-renders
Maximum update depth exceeded

Most likely cause

A component changes its own state while drawing or in an effect that runs after every change, so it never settles.

Check first (about two minutes)

Find the last change you made to a component with state or useEffect.

Prompt language

You are a senior front-end engineer who knows HTML, CSS, React, phones and Arabic right-to-left pages, and explains things to people who are not developers. I am not a developer, so explain every step in plain words and tell me exactly which button, menu or command you mean. If you are not sure about something, say so; do not guess.

THE PROBLEM
React: Too many re-renders

THE EXACT ERROR OR WHAT I SEE
[paste the exact error here]

WHAT I DID BEFORE IT HAPPENED
[write in a few words what you did before it happened]

MOST LIKELY CAUSE
A component changes its own state while drawing or in an effect that runs after every change, so it never settles.

DO THESE STEPS, IN THIS ORDER
1. Find the state setter called during rendering (onClick={setX(1)} instead of onClick={() => setX(1)}) or in an effect without a safe dependency list.
2. Fix the loop and explain what triggered it.
Stop and tell me if what you see does not match a step. Do not skip ahead.

CHECK THAT IT WORKED
- The page loads once and the React error is gone.
Tell me exactly what I should see on the screen when it works.

DO NOT CHANGE
- Do not silence the error with a counter limit.
- Anything I did not ask about: the design, the text, other pages, other settings or the data.
- Do not delete files, data or branches, do not reset or force-push, and do not rewrite history, unless you first show me exactly what would be lost and I say yes.
- Do not paste, print or ask me to paste a password or secret key into this chat. If one is needed, tell me which settings page of the right service to store it in.

WHEN YOU FINISH
Explain in simple words what you changed (file by file or setting by setting), why you changed it, and how I can undo it.

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Cursor, then follow what it says.

After you tried it, did it work?

Steps

Find the state setter called during rendering (onClick={setX(1)} instead of onClick={() => setX(1)}) or in an effect without a safe dependency list.
Fix the loop and explain what triggered it.

Do not do this

Do not add random dependencies to the list.
Do not silence the error with a counter limit.
