I found another place where this is happening. This is when i disassociated 2 teams at one time. I confirmed that 3 POST requests are happening per each team.

As I dug into this, I discovered that the function to update breadcrumbs is setting state, which causes a re-fetch of the inventory, which triggers more updates/re-fetches in the child components. Basically a few hooks activating each other more times than they should between various components. Fixing this will require some re-thinking how we go about updating breadcrumbs and/or looking for a way to pull the state vars out of that update function.
