requestanimationframe drawing with for loop issue

I'm working on a tetris game - still - and am trying to use requestAnimationFrame to draw my T piece on the black board.

This is the problem. the requestAnimationFrame draws the piece 2 times, then stops drawing even though the for loop is still running. That is, after two times, I only see the black background. When I comment out the black background the piece shows up/animates just fine.

I really am at a loss why this is happening.

var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");

const T = [
        [
            [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
            [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
            [0, 1, 1, 1, 0],
            [0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
            [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
        ],

       [
            [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
            [0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
            [0, 1, 1, 0, 0],
            [0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
            [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
        ],

       [
            [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
            [0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
            [0, 1, 1, 1, 0],
            [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
            [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
        ],

        [
            [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
            [0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
            [0, 0, 1, 1, 0],
            [0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
            [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
        ],
    ]

    var piece = T[0];

    const player = {
        position: {x: 5, y: -1},
        piece: piece,
    }

function colorPiece(piece, offset) {
    for(y = 0; y < piece.length; y++) {
        for(x = 0; x < piece.length; x++) {
            if (piece[y][x] !== 0) {
                ctx.fillStyle = "red";
                ctx.fillRect(x + offset.x, y + offset.y, 1, 1);
            }
        }
    }
}

function drawCanvas() {
    ctx.fillStyle = "black";
    ctx.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
    ctx.scale(20, 20);
    colorPiece(player.piece, player.position);
}

function update() {
        drawCanvas();
        requestAnimationFrame(update);
}

update();
