I believe categories are under a beta so I don't think we should block the deploy on those, however @rezkiy37 @yuwenmemon @puneetlath - Could you look into this as it seems related to #26501 and Wave 8? Thank you!

[rezkiy37]

Actually, it is not a bug, it is a feature. A category is being set to recently array only after a money request has been submitted. So, please verify this 🙂

[yuwenmemon]

Correct. We can close this!
