Question About useEffect && setTimout

Hey,
each time i am resetting the counter to 3 ( on the second useEffect )
somehow the last useEffect is still running, so i get infinity timeouts calls.
*Clearing the timeout on the first useEffect fixes the proble, was wondering why its cauesing Infinity calls tho
Thanks for the help, srry for the bad english :)

const [counter, setCounter]  = useState(15)
 useEffect(() => {
  const timer = setTimeout(() => setCounter(counter - 1, 1000)
}, [counter])
useEffect(() => {
 if (counter === 0) {
  setCounter(3)
 }
}, [counter])
