Prevent Apollo from re-fetching if state changes in the Provider - reactjs

Question

In our React application we store the currentUser in a state object that can change whenever the token is refreshed and is then passed in the header for API requests.
However because state changes in React cause the component tree to re-render it seems this also causes Apollo to re-fetch queries (even though these don't run on render but explicitly called via events (the events themselves are not re-called)).
So our Provider looks like this:
// ...rest of code removed for brevity...
// currentUser is a state object in a parent Context
const { currentUser } = useContext(AuthContext)
// ...rest of code removed for brevity...
const authLink = setContext((_, { headers }) => {
return {
headers: {
...headers,
authorization: currentUser
? `Bearer ${currentUser.authenticationToken}`
: ''
}
}
})
const client = useMemo(
() =>
new ApolloClient({
link: from([authLink, errorLink, httpLink]),
cache: new InMemoryCache({
dataIdFromObject: () => uuid.v4()
})
}),
[authLink, errorLink, httpLink]
)
return <ApolloProvider client={client}>{children}</ApolloProvider>
}
export default CustomApolloProvider
And then in some lower level component:
// This query will run after every currentUser change
// AFTER the first time this query is run via the click event
const [
loadData,
{ loading: loadingData, error: errorData }
] = useLazyQuery(DATA_QUERY, {
onCompleted: (data) => {
console.log('data', data)
}
})
<Button onClick={() => loadData()}>Load Data</Button>
So after clicking that Button to load some data, and then making the currentUser update, that query will then re-fetch... even though the query should ONLY be firing on event click...
Our current solution is to drop any use of 'states' inside this component and instead pull values directly from either a service or from localStorage for that header, so there's no chance of a re-fetch on the state change which works...
But this seems really flaky... is there a way to stop Apollo re-fetching these queries if a state changes inside its Provider?
