[5.x]: "actionRecentActivity" throws "Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency?"

[gopeter]

What happened?

Description

Looking at my PHP error logs, I sometimes find this:

2024-10-17 10:26:47 [web.ERROR] [yii\base\ErrorException:1] Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency? {"trace":["#0 [internal function]: yii\\base\\ErrorHandler->handleFatalError()","#1 {main}"],"memory":3935280,"exception":"[object] (yii\\base\\ErrorException(code: 1): Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency? at /var/www/releases/21/vendor/craftcms/cms/src/services/Elements.php:2717)"} 

Looking further in the application log, I have some more details:

2024-10-17 10:26:47 [web.WARNING] [application] Request context: {"environment":"production","userId":...,"sessionId":"...","body":"{\"elementType\":\"craft\\\\commerce\\\\elements\\\\Product\",\"elementId\":155830,\"draftId\":null,\"siteId\":12,\"provisional\":false}","vars":{"_GET":{"p":"admin/actions/elements/recent-activity","site":"esEn","dontExtendSession":"1","v":"1729153607180"},"_FILES":[]

Steps to reproduce

1. That's the point – I can't reproduce it. It happens, but I cant reproduce it. We have 3 matrix fields, but they have only one level, nothing deeply stacked.

Expected behavior

That we don't get this error.

Actual behavior

That the PHP error appears.
