@PhantomSpooks It is a stress test so it was like 10 times per second but I added a 0 delay in executing it and it seems to work so the users will not be able to spam the button and flood the database with requests.

  useEffect(() => {
    let timeoutId;
    const codRef = ref(db, "COD");
    const codListener = onValue(codRef, (snapshot) => {
      clearTimeout(timeoutId);
      timeoutId = setTimeout(() => {
        const loadouts = snapshot.exists() ? snapshot.val() : {};
        const sortedLoadouts = Object.values(loadouts)
        .sort((a, b) => (b.likes?.length || 0) - (a.likes?.length || 0))
        .reduce((acc, loadout) => {
          acc[loadout.id] = loadout;
          return acc;
        }, {});
        setList(sortedLoadouts);
      }, 0); // Debounce for 0ms
    });
  
    return () => {
      clearTimeout(timeoutId);
      codListener();
    };
  }, [db]);
