Version Number: 9.0.69-4 Reproducible in staging?: Y

Possible Performance Issues to Investigate:

• API Delays/Failures: The app may not be receiving data on time, causing freezing or looping.
• Inefficient Data Fetching: Fetching too much data at once could cause freezes or long load times.
• Rendering Bottlenecks: Frontend struggles to process or render large datasets or complex UI elements.
• Memory Leaks/Resource Drain: Excessive resource use may cause slowdowns or app freezes.
• Concurrency Issues: Problems with async tasks (promises/async/await) could lead to delays or freezes.

Action Performed:

Please find the detailed steps to replicate the issue during testing:

1. Navigate to Expensify Staging in a workspace chat.
2. Launch the Desktop App:
3. Open the Expensify desktop application.
4. Perform the Test Action:
5. Use the search feature to attempt loading the "Expenses" section.
6. Observe that the app enters a loop or freezes, failing to load the "Expenses" section.

Expected Result:

• The app should load the "Expenses" data without any delay or freezing.
• API responses should be received in a timely manner, ensuring smooth data fetching and rendering.
• The user interface (UI) should remain responsive and not experience any noticeable lag or freezing.
• Data should be efficiently fetched and processed, with minimal resource usage.
• There should be no performance degradation, and the app should handle asynchronous tasks correctly without impacting the user experience.
• As the link is already expired and the link character is modified the link should not lead to 2FA page
