I'm on 10.14.6 and 2023.6 is working like a dream. Just rename your current version with the number, install 2023.6 and rename that as well.
Now you have both versions to use.

Test out 2023.6 and go back to 2021.x for things if you need.

How often is it saving? What type of work are you doing? Mixing/Editing or recording??

hey thx for the reply,
it's supposed to create backup file on every minute and actually i'm doing lost of mixing indeed.
But audiolex said it's working with him so now the mystery is expanding.
My update plan ran out before vs 2023 & can only download till 2022.5

Backups don’t occur when track is playing. So if you play a track that’s 3 minutes long without stopping, the next backup won’t occur until you stop the tape.

(Tape? Grandad!)

When this has come up in the past I wrote and shared a little monitor utility that reports on auto saves. I noticed recently it has some problems but if folks want this to play with I'll get it fixed.

personnally and if i may ... i'd just love to keep on saving on each minute what ever i do.
I don't mind trashing manually unwanted backups.
At the time if nothing was done in pro tools it would stop saving.

But as long as an EQ parameter would be changed, then pro tools would start saving again ...

I also regret the time of MDW3 where the undo was counted in pro tools and possible

What is complex here? Pro Tools won't autosave if its busy doing stuff, it *can't*... you want it to crash when trying to save while running? And it won't save unless there is some change to save. So what it does do is between those limits. And no you can't expect this to be significantly changed.
