Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Opening the Wallet page calls the OpenPaymentsPage twice

What is the root cause of that problem?

The root cause of this problem is the presence of two separate useEffect hooks in WalletPage.tsx that both trigger the PaymentMethods.openWalletPage() function, leading to the API being called twice during the page load process.

App/src/pages/settings/Wallet/WalletPage/WalletPage.tsx

Lines 276 to 278 in c1881ed

	useEffect(() => {
	PaymentMethods.openWalletPage();
	}, []);

App/src/pages/settings/Wallet/WalletPage/WalletPage.tsx

Lines 289 to 294 in c1881ed

	useEffect(() => {
	if (network.isOffline) {
	return;
	}
	PaymentMethods.openWalletPage();
	}, [network.isOffline]);

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We can remove this one an only trigger the openWalletPage here

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

@mallenexpensify, @mountiny, @nyomanjyotisa, @thesahindia Huh... This is 4 days overdue. Who can take care of this?

[mallenexpensify]

@thesahindia if you propose we don't want a regression test case, can you provide reasoning why you think we don't need one? For this, I'm assuming it's because The OpenPaymentsPage read call is made only once is more of a backend thing that just needed to be updated and checking for that each time isn't necessary.

It was a very specific issue. We added the same code twice and because of that we were calling the api twice.
