Fetch status 200 but pending endllessly, except first call - reactjs

Question

I've been searching to solve this problem for a while but couldn't find a working solution.
I'm making a simple social network website and this API returns a article data such as text, image and video url, etc, all saved in server's local MySQL Database. My front-end is React and server is Nginx reverse proxy with Node.js using Express. When I load the page, I create 5 React components that each make fetch request for given article number.
The following code snippet is the fetch API that asks the server to fetch data from database:
//server-side script
app.get('/api/getArticle/:id', (req, res) => {
const con = mysql.createConnection({
host: 'myhost_name',
user: 'myUser',
password: 'myPassword',
database: 'myDB',
});
con.connect(function (err) {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
console.log("Connected!");
})
const idInterest = req.params.id.toString();
console.log(idInterest)
let sql = 'some_sql';
con.query(sql, function (err, result) {
if (err) {
res.status(500).send("Error while getting article data");
return;
}
else {
res.set('Connection', 'close')
res.status(200).send(result);
console.log("ended")
con.end();
return;
}
})
}
//React script
//index.js
fetch('http://mywebsite.com/api/getMaxArticleId/')//Retrieve top 5 article ID
.then((response) => {
for (let i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
nodesList.push(<Container articleId={data[i]['id']}/>)
}
ReactDOM.render(<React.StrictMode><NavBar />{nodesList}<Writer writer="tempWriter" /></React.StrictMode>, document.getElementById('root'));
})
//Container.jsx; componentDidMount
const url = "http://mywebsite.com/api/getArticle/" + this.props.articleId.toString();
fetch(url, {
method: 'GET',
credentials: "include",
}).then((response) => {
response.json().then((json) => {
console.log(json);
//processing json data
This used to work very fine, but suddenly the getArticle/:id calls started to show 200 status but 'pending' in 'time' column in Chrome network tab, endlessly, all except the first*getArticle/:idcall. This prevents my subsequent .then() in each Container from being called and thus my entire tab is frozen.

As you see from the image, all pending fetches are missing 'Content Download' and stuck in 'Waiting(TTFB)', except the first call, which was '39'
I checked the API is working fine, both on Postman and Chrome, the server sends result from DB query as expected, and first call's Json response is intact. I also see that console.log(response.json()) in React front-end shows Promise{<pending>} with *[[PromiseStatus]]: "Resolved"* and *[[PromiseValue]]* of Array(1) which has expected json data inside.

This became problematic after I added YouTube upload functionality with Google Cloud Platform API into my server-side script, so that looks little suspicious, but I have no certain clue. I'm also guessing maybe this could be problem of my React code, probably index.js, but I have no idea which specific part got me so wrong.
I've been working on this for a few days, and maybe I need common intelligence to solve this (or I made a silly mistake XD). So, any advices are welcomed :)
