Template loop detected while rendering hvac_action_template

[sbasmanov]

The problem

I'm setting up IR controlled air conditioner, so I wanted to emulate hvac_action depending on mode and temperature. It works for a while, but when I start changing modes and temperature it stops updating, posting warning in log. After first warning it never updates hvac_ation until restart. On next changes of state/temperature it logs same warning. I'm not sure, but it seems that issue is triggering when accessing climate entity state inside template rendering. May be there is better way to get current hvac_mode and temperature ?

What version of Template Climate has the issue?

just cloned from git 28.03.2023

What version of Home Assistant are you running?
