Type Error: Type instantiation is excessively deep and possibly infinite

I recently upgraded to the latest version of better-auth and these errors started popping up randomly, before upgrading i wasn't getting such errors I'm using nextjs + hono, earlier i was using nextjs handler and i started getting these errors so i decided to try with the hono handler but it was of no use

similarly with the following code: 
const session = await auth.api.getSession({
                      ^^^^^^^^
                headers: c.req.raw.headers,
            });

                headers: c.req.raw.headers,
            });

im using session in all the APIs but this error only pops up on any one of them, if i reload the vscode window, this error will appear on some other api -- "better-auth": "^1.1.21", "hono": "^4.7.2",
