Maximum Update Depth Exceeded

React Errors
Error Message
Maximum update depth exceeded. This can happen when a component calls setState inside useEffect
What Causes This Error?
This error indicates an infinite loop where a state update triggers a re-render, which triggers another state update. Usually caused by missing or incorrect dependency arrays in useEffect.
Solution
Check your useEffect dependency arrays. Ensure state updates do not trigger the same effect that caused them. Use functional updates when updating state based on previous state.
