Version 5 splits the two axes cleanly: status is pending, error or success and describes the data, while fetchStatus is fetching, paused or idle and describes the request. A query with enabled set to false and no cached data is therefore pending with an idle fetch status, forever.
The bug that follows is a component that returns a spinner when isPending is true. It renders a spinner that never resolves, typically for a query that is waiting on a route parameter or a logged in user.
Use isLoading, which is pending and fetching together, for the first load spinner, and handle the disabled case explicitly in the branch above it. The same distinction explains a query that sits paused rather than failing when the browser is offline.
