Note that there is an unrelated issue in your code but that could bite you later: you should return res.json() or you will not catch any error occurring in JSON parsing or your own function processing data.

Back to your error: You cannot have a TypeError: failed to fetch with a successful request. You probably have another request (check your "network" panel to see all of them) that breaks and causes this error to be logged. Also, maybe check "Preserve log" to be sure the panel is not cleared by any indelicate redirection. Sometimes I happen to have a persistent "console" panel, and a cleared "network" panel that leads me to have error in console which is actually unrelated to the visible requests. You should check that.

Or you (but that would be vicious) actually have a hardcoded console.log('TypeError: failed to fetch') in your final .catch ;) and the error is in reality in your .then() but it's hard to believe.
