Description
### Describe the bug
Account 1's balance displays inconsistently between the home screen and the accounts dropdown. When first viewing Account 1, the home screen and dropdown both correctly show ~$23.09. However, after switching to Account 2 and reopening the accounts dropdown, Account 1's balance drops to $12.72. Switching back to Account 1 confirms the home screen also shows $12.72 initially the balance eventually corrects back to $23.09.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the mismatch in the home screen and accounts dropdown on Chrome using version 13.21.0, then trace the balance updates triggered by switching accounts. Done means Account 1 keeps the same balance in both views before, during, and after switching to another account.
