Skipping stale cache update after cache change in optimistic update

[hornta]

I've implented optimistic update but I've having problems with multiple quick cache updates.

I have an endpoint that toggles an active flag on an item. Because I need to update the switch the user clicked on upon toggling the active state I need to update it quickly because otherwise it feels sluggish and slow.

1. This is what happens now in order:
2. • User toggles in UI from false -> true
3. • onQueryStarted toggles the flag to true instantly
4. • User toggle it once again quickly in UI from true -> false
5. • RTK now retrieves the updated item model after the endpoint invalidation caused by the first click. This changes the toggle from false -> true(This is what I want to skip)
6. • RTK now retrieves the updated item model after the endpoint invalidation caused by the second click. This makes the UI end up in the expected state.

So I actually want to skip step 5 because I consider that result stale. Will RTK let me do this in some way?

Here's what happening visually.
