To solve the task, you need to extract the re-rendering logic with a timer into a separate custom hook, which will return the current random number and timer control methods (for example, stop). Then, based on it, create a RandOnce component that calls the hook but does not trigger updates by the timer, instead displaying the number once.

Example implementation:

import React, { useState, useEffect, useRef } from 'react';

// Hook with timer for updating a random number
function useRandomTimer(interval = 3000) {
  const [random, setRandom] = useState(Math.random());
  const timerId = useRef(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    timerId.current = setInterval(() => {
      setRandom(Math.random());
    }, interval);

    return () => clearInterval(timerId.current);
  }, [interval]);

  const stop = () => {
    if (timerId.current) {
      clearInterval(timerId.current);
      timerId.current = null;
    }
  };

  return { random, stop };
}

// Rand component — updates the number every 3 seconds
export function Rand() {
  const { random } = useRandomTimer(3000);
  return <div>{random}</div>;
}

// RandOnce component — displays the number once, without updates
export function RandOnce() {
  const [random] = useState(Math.random());
  // Can use the hook without starting the timer or simply not use the hook
  return <div>{random}</div>;
}

// If needed, you can create useRandomTimer with an option to not start the timer
function useRandomTimerControlled(interval = 3000, start = true) {
  const [random, setRandom] = useState(Math.random());
  const timerId = useRef(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    if (!start) return;
    timerId.current = setInterval(() => {
      setRandom(Math.random());
    }, interval);

    return () => clearInterval(timerId.current);
  }, [interval, start]);

  const stop = () => {
    if (timerId.current) {
      clearInterval(timerId.current);
      timerId.current = null;
    }
  };

  return { random, stop };
}

// Then, RandOnce can be implemented as:
export function RandOnceControlled() {
  const { random } = useRandomTimerControlled(3000, false); // timer does not start
  return <div>{random}</div>;
}

Thus, the update logic is extracted into a hook that can be controlled externally, and the RandOnce component displays the number once without updates.
