Why is my debounce function not calling the function?

useEffect(() => {
    if (watchedAccountCode) {
      debounce(accountCodeExists);
    }
  }, [watchedAccountCode]);

export const debounce = (callback, timeout = 300) => {
  let timer;

  return () => {
    clearTimeout(timer);
    timer = setTimeout(() => {
      callback();
    }, timeout);
  };
};

const accountCodeExists = async () => {
    const code = getValues('accountCode');
    const searchedAccount = await getAllAccounts(UUID, { $filter: `accountCode=${code}` });

    console.log('searchedAccount', searchedAccount);
  };

useEffect(() => {
    if (watchedAccountCode) {
      debounce(accountCodeExists);
    }
  }, [watchedAccountCode]);

export const debounce = (callback, timeout = 300) => {
  let timer;

  return () => {
    clearTimeout(timer);
    timer = setTimeout(() => {
      callback();
    }, timeout);
  };
};

const accountCodeExists = async () => {
    const code = getValues('accountCode');
    const searchedAccount = await getAllAccounts(UUID, { $filter: `accountCode=${code}` });

    console.log('searchedAccount', searchedAccount);
  };

Hello, @⛄Snowberb⛄ I'm thinking, maybe, asynchrony issue ? Are you certain of your debounce function's behavior when given an async function ? Is it normal that 'accoutCodeExists' does not return anything ?* Is it borrowed code or your code ? Awaiting your answer, I think I have the solution

theres nothing null or undefined it works if its not async but I also need it for async functions thanks btw @Liil' Boo
