Reactjs – How do I not send infinite get requests to backend and still be able to render frontend dynamically?

Somehow, there are non-stop requests going to the backend. I tried removing requiredFields from useEffects‘s dependencies, but then the frontend stops re-rendering. I had to reload the page to render new values. How do I fix it? Tell me if you need backend code also to help.

import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react'
import { useParams, useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom'
import TitleForm from './TitleForm';
import DescriptionForm from './DescriptionForm'

const Course = () => {
    const { courseId } = useParams();
    const navigate = useNavigate()
    const [course, setCourse] = useState(null);
    const [requiredFields, setRequiredFields] = useState([])
    const [totalFields, setTotalFields] = useState(0)
    const [completedFields, setCompletedFields] = useState(0)
    const [completionText, setCompletionText] = useState("")
    const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(true)

    useEffect(() => {
        const fetchData = async () => {
            try {
                const response = await fetch(`http://localhost:3000/instructor/courses/${courseId}`, {
                    method: 'GET',
                    headers: {
                        authorization: `Bearer ${localStorage.getItem('token')}`
                    }
                });

                if (response.status === 401) {
                    return navigate("/signin")
                }

                if (!response.ok) {
                    throw new Error('Failed to fetch course data');
                }

                const data = await response.json();
                setCourse(data.course);
                setRequiredFields([
                    data.course.title,
                    data.course.description,
                    data.course.imageLink,
                    data.course.price,
                ]);

                setTotalFields(requiredFields.length);
                setCompletedFields(requiredFields.filter(Boolean).length);
                setCompletionText(`${completedFields}/${totalFields}`);
                setIsLoading(false)
            } catch (error) {
                console.error('Error fetching course data:', error);
                setIsLoading(false)
            }
        };

        fetchData();
    }, [requiredFields]);
