Laravel replaces the connection parameter with the default one

I have a model with a connection parameter to a different database.

class User extends Model
{
    protected $connection = 'main_database';
}

When I save the model the connection is returning to default application connection which is named "mysql".

It only happens if one of model values is changed.

 $user = User::find(1);
 $user->surname = 'changed surname';
 $user->save();
    
 dd($user->getConnectionName());

Is it a laravel bug?

    Never mind. I had this in Trackable trait and that was a problem.

    public function history()
{
    return $this->setConnection('mysql')->morphToMany(AdmUser::class, 'trackable')->withPivot(['before', 'after'])->withTimestamps();
}

    It’s necessary to refresh the $user variable.

    $user->refresh();

    $user = User::find(1);
$user->surname = 'changed surname';
$user->save();

$user->refresh();
    
dd($user->getConnectionName());
