The last paragraph hits close because I've experienced a similar issue recently. It turns out some component library was responsible for excessive rerenders even when idle (eating up the daily quota of read operations on some database for a small project).

As a stopgap, I just made a completely unstyled alternative to that internal admin dashboard that uses Handlebars HTML templating (no Javascript) on the server. Inclined me towards dependency rejection (which is an approach I was already taking for some side projects).
