Error When Using V4.5.1 and Carbon V3

[phillipbcoyle]

This package does not appear to be compatible with Carbon V3.

When using the Honeypot package V4.5.1 and Carbon V3, I receive the following error on any website page that has this package being used in a Livewire component.

Carbon\Carbon::rawAddUnit(): Argument #3 ($value) must be of type int|float, string given, called in vendor/nesbot/carbon/src/Carbon/Traits/Units.php on line 356

If I downgrade Carbon to V2, or if I limit the Honeypot package to V4.5.0 (the last version requiring Carbon V2 only), then it works.

Fixed in V4.5.2

It's still not fixed yet (completely).
It creates the same issue with version v4.5.2 and Laravel version v11.21.0
I don't want to downgrade the Laravel so I did downgraded the honeypot-package to v4.5.0 and Carbon was downgraded as well. Now things are working normally again but
What is the real issue can anyone explain and how to fix it permanently.

I fixed this thing by just casting the amount_of_seconds in config\honepot.php

'amount_of_seconds' => (int) env('HONEYPOT_SECONDS', 3),

Since .env values are all strings, config is being set as a string rather than an int, so I change the type.
I hope this will help someone, but still, this is not the exact fix because we are modifying the config file.
