Next.JS lagging when updating website application

I just started using Next.JS yesterday while working through the learning path thats on their website until I hit chapter 6 since there was an issue with seeding the database. I decided to move onto a personal project of mine and I am noticing there is noticeable "lag" whenever I make any stylistic changes to elements in my website application.

For example, I could apply the following CSS selector in globals.css:

p {
    font-size: 8px;
}


Then, I could change my mind and change it to 9px or even add another CSS selector to this ruleset like Button, so it would be p, button { ... }. Whenever, I make a change it never updates to that change immediately made. It only updates to a change I made previously. At the moment, I currently have a font-size of 8px applied to the p CSS selector in globals.css, but I'm using the dev tools to inspect the element and it shows it has a font-size of 9px. I refreshed the page like 5 times and rebooted the dev server. It still doesn't update to the current change, so I'm wondering what I am doing wrong here. I didn't have this sort of issue when using React with Vite.

Delete your .next folder, then restart the dev server...you would see the updated changes

NextJS has aggressive caching in development mode, can be pretty frustrating at times
