Why soda “calms down” when you close the cap after opening it once? Why it doesnt explode the next time you open the bottle?

Question

I mean no gases were leaked from the bottle while the cap is closed so why is it doing that.

Answer 1

When you shake a bottle of soda, the dissolved CO2 gets mangled at the imperfections of the bottle ready to release the soda fountain. The longer you keep that bottle closed, the more time you give the CO2 to get away from that surfaces it can form bubbles.
