Why is my query refetching when using the same query key?

I have this setup 
const dataQuery = useQuery(
  [
    'customers',
    { ...pagination, sorting, },
  ],
  fetchCustomers,
  { keepPreviousData: true, refetchOnWindowFocus: false, cacheTime: 1000 * 60 * 5 },
);
const dataQuery = useQuery(
  [
    'customers',
    { ...pagination, sorting, },
  ],
  fetchCustomers,
  { keepPreviousData: true, refetchOnWindowFocus: false, cacheTime: 1000 * 60 * 5 },
);
My pagination object contains a pageNumber. On my initial load this is 1. If I then go to the next page this is 2 and we get a new ajax request as expected. However what's throwing me off is that if I then go back to the previous page so the value is 1 again the data is immediately returned, but then it seems a background request is fired to refresh the data. How can I stop that background request?

Ah thanks @TkDodo 🔮 And that made me realise I was using the old version of react-query Upgraded now and gcTime vs cacheTime makes way more sense 🙂
