Sure, all the other settings work fine (refresh on focus, failure retry, etc.), I just would have hoped to limit the requests made when the same data is requested in many different places.

Try checking out the options:

      refetchInterval: false,
      refetchOnMount: false,
      refetchOnWindowFocus: false,
      refetchOnReconnect: false,
      staleTime: Infinity,

I was similarly surprised at how 'chatty' react-query was by default, but changing these defaults quieted it down. Great library though, and I understand the argument for these defaults.
