Why is the flow strange?

in onCreate():

   `Handle service binding and starting
    if (hasPermissions()) {
        startOrBindService()
    }
    
        private fun hasPermissions() :Boolean {
    if (EasyPermissions.hasPermissions(this, *permissions.toTypedArray())) {
        return true
    }
    else{
        val permsToRequest = mutableListOf<String>()
        val rationaleMessages = mutableListOf<String>()

        // Check which permissions are missing and need to be requested
        for (perm in permissions) {
            if (!EasyPermissions.hasPermissions(this, perm)) {
                permsToRequest.add(perm)
                // Add rationale messages for missing permissions
                when (perm) {
                    ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION -> rationaleMessages.add(getString(R.string.permission_location_rationale))
                    RECORD_AUDIO -> rationaleMessages.add(getString(R.string.permission_record_audio_rationale))
                    POST_NOTIFICATIONS -> rationaleMessages.add(getString(R.string.permission_notifications_rationale))
                }
            }
        }
        EasyPermissions.requestPermissions(
            this,
            rationaleMessages.joinToString("\n\n"),
            REQUEST_CODE_PERMISSIONS,
            *permsToRequest.toTypedArray()
        )
        return false
    }
}

    override fun onPermissionsDenied(requestCode: Int, perms: List<String>) {
    setupViews()
    setSlidersProperties()
    setPausePlayImage()
}
override fun onPermissionsGranted(requestCode: Int, perms: List<String>) {
    if (EasyPermissions.hasPermissions(this, *permissions.toTypedArray())) {
        if (!isServiceBound)
            startOrBindService()
        else {
            mIsPaused = mSharedPref.getBoolean(KEY_IS_PAUSED, true)
            setupViews()
            setSlidersProperties()
            setPausePlayImage()
        }
    }
}

`
First time opening the app, android permissions request appear.
Denying the permissions raise the easypermission rationale.
Clicking Ok in the dialog, raises the Android permissions requests again.
Denying permission again will not raise the rationale ever again even when app is restarted and haspermission() called again.
If Cancel button is pressed in the dialog it just closes the rationale and it will keep appearing.

I would expect the following behavior:
First time opening the app, rationale appears
Cancel button pressed: No permission requests shown. Ok button pressed: pemission requests shown.
Denying the permissions raises the easypermission rationale again everytime.
