Description
MapboxGL freezes (crashes) when changing coordinates or city via Sensors developer tools (Chrome)
I checked both on the map in the official documentation, and on many sites where Mapbox is used. The problem is global
Play steps:
1. Open the site with the Mabox map through the Chrome browser
2. Open Developer Tools
3. Open the "Sensors" tab
4. Change the coordinates (or the city itself) through "Sensors"
Actual Result: Site completely freezes, including non-map related elements

Research direction
Reproduce the freeze using the official documentation map in Chrome with Developer Tools' Sensors tab, changing coordinates or cities. Trace the map's response to those coordinate changes and verify that the page, including non-map elements, remains responsive afterward.
