Hi

Here is full stack trace and error:

Hi @Eddie-CooRo, I'm afraid I haven't seen this before, however it looks like the issue stems from you having autoSave enabled on your object. This means that as soon as this plugin changes the modified_at field, orm's Instance attempts to save the new changes - this obviously continues ad-infinitum until you end up with a stack overflow.

I, unfortunately, can't see a way to make a plugin like this work with autoSave enabled so my advice is going to be to either disable autoSave and manually trigger saving of your instances (which is likely going to reduce the number of queries you make to the DB anyway) or manually manage the modified_at timestamp.

Sorry I can't be of more help

Thank you so much
I didn't know that it's because of autosave...
I'll look for a workaround
