Ionic serve infinite reloading when no files changed

Current Behavior:

When testing my ionic app’s build with the ionic serve command (after the initial compile and load of the app on the dev server) something is causing the app to recompile (similar to live reload) even though no files were changed. This seems to continue infinitely.

Expected behavior

The app to only recompile when I change a file

What have I tried

• The behavior still happens even if I include the --no-live-reload flag
• The behavior still happens if I run the command in a terminal with VSCode closed
• Restarted the computer
• updated chrome
• reverted to an earlier version of the app
• reinstalled npm packages

Technical Details

• OS: MacOS Big Sur
• npm: 6.14.8
• NodeJS: 12.19.0
• Ionic CLI: 5.14.16
• Ionic Framework: @ionic/angular 4.11.13
