why is my `useEffect` hook still running multiple times even with a correct `dependency array`?

hey folks, just trying to fix this wierd behavior with a useEffect hook that keeps firing.

even after setting up the dependency array correctly, it's still running on every component re-render or more often then expected, which is super annoying.

here's a quick code snippet of what i'm doing:

import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';

function MyComponent() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState(0);

  useEffect(() => {
    console.log('useEffect fired!');
    // some async operation perhaps
  }, [value]); // this is the dependency array

  return (
    

      
Current value: {value}
       setValue(value + 1)}>Update Value
    
  );
}

anyone faced this before? it's really holding up my progress.
