order = await Order.findOneAndUpdate({_id: orderId}, {
            $set: {
                created_at: new Date(sold_date),
            }
        }, {
            new: true
        });

I'm trying to manually update a previously created created_at field in the document. It seems that mongo avoids this update and nothing happens (only for created_at). Below is the field definition in model:

const orderSchema = new Schema({
    ...
    },
    {timestamps: {createdAt: 'created_at', updatedAt: 'updated_at'}});

You need to set timestamps to false in your findOneAndUpdate. Unfortunately, it's still not updated in the documentation.

Reference

order = await Order.findOneAndUpdate({_id: orderId}, {
            $set: {
                created_at: new Date(sold_date),
            }
        }, {
            new: true,
            timestamps: false
        });

First you can Unset the field and then add the created_at field again.

order = await Order.findOneAndUpdate({_id: orderId}, {
            {
             $unset: {created_at: 1}
             },
            $set: {
                created_at: new Date(sold_date),
            }
        }, {
                new: true, 
                runValidators : true
            });
