Why does Edge go into an auto refresh page mode while switching tabs?

Edge goes into an auto refresh page mode while switching tabs.

Need Suggestion, Microsoft Edge goes into an auto refresh page mode while switching tabs when there are 4 or more tab opened.

Yeah I noticed this today when I had about 6-8 tabs open. I'm usually only using 1 or 2 tabs and close them out. But I noticed when I was multitasking on edge going back and forth inbetween tabs that when I opened like the 6th tab and went back to one of the other ones they were all refreshing. It has to be for memory reasons kinda like on android.
