Details

I want to sync state to a prop {/clamp-state-to-prop/}

A common problem is trying to "fix" state after it renders. Suppose you want to keep a counter from exceeding a max prop:

// ❌ Wrong: clamps during render
function Counter({max}) {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  if (count > max) {
    setCount(max);
  }

  return (
    <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
      {count}
    </button>
  );
}

As soon as count exceeds max, an infinite loop is triggered.

I think this Counter component can be rendered and clicked without issues.
The claim that an infinite loop will be triggered is incorrect.

Read src/content/reference/eslint-plugin-react-hooks/lints/set-state-in-render.md, especially the linked lines 70–91 and the “I want to sync state to a prop” section. Check the Counter example and its claim against the behavior described in the issue; done means the example and explanation accurately describe the reported case.
