I have a many to many field that connects newsletters and digests. When I try to preload the many to many field newsletters via

    Repo.get!(Digest, id)
    |> Repo.preload(:newsletters)

I get the following error

[error] #PID<0.898.0> running AppWeb.Endpoint (connection #PID<0.880.0>, stream id 3) terminated

However, when I try to preload :organization in the digest schema. It works and preloads the organization.

   # this preloads organization without errors
    Repo.get!(Digest, id)
    |> Repo.preload(:organiaztion)



%App.Digests.Digest{
  __meta__: #Ecto.Schema.Metadata<:loaded, "digests">,
  frequency: "ONCE",
  id: "mvMl2V",
  inserted_at: ~U[2022-04-28 14:15:16Z],
  name: "ANOTHER DATASET",
  newsletters: #Ecto.Association.NotLoaded<association :newsletters is not loaded>,
  organization: %App.Organizations.Organization{
    __meta__: #Ecto.Schema.Metadata<:loaded, "organizations">,
    active: true,
    domain: nil,
    email: nil,
    id: 1,
    inserted_at: ~U[2022-04-28 03:01:21Z],
  },
  organization_id: "gKg12n",
  updated_at: ~U[2022-04-28 14:15:16Z]
}

Is there any changes to be made for many_to_many association preload?
