I cannot see any PR from the checklist that might cause this

[techievivek]

Maybe something from backend? Since we have seen such bugs in past?

[techievivek]

Let me inspect the request.

[mountiny]

Here its navigation related, I would expect App bug. @adamgrzybowski are you able to reproduce in staging?

I think you had to fix last minute some bugs with goBack in your branch - maybe this has similar rootcause

[techievivek]

Yeah, it could be related to navigation too, since the button goes pack to paid state.

Hi, I'm Eugene from Callstack - expert contributor group. I’d like to work on this issue.

[techievivek]

I am demoting this since the state eventually returns back to a paid state, and in no way does it prevent users from paying for a money request. Also though we have the fix for this regression we can't CP it as it's a bit tricky situation, discussions here https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C01GTK53T8Q/p1739357123017289?thread_ts=1739335771.174889&cid=C01GTK53T8Q
