There is a way provided by devise gem to skip the Trackable fields updates for a specific request. Devise uses a condition as :
if record.respond_to?(:update_tracked_fields!) && warden.authenticated?(options[:scope]) && !warden.request.env["devise.skip_trackable"] Above condition can be found at https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/blob/master/lib/devise/hooks/trackable.rb#L6 In whichever request you want to skip the Trackable fields updates you just need to set an variable *devise.skip_trackable* from environment as : prepend_before_filter { env["devise.skip_trackable"] = true } This will skip the updating of following columns: 1. sign_in_count 2. current_sign_in_at 3. last_sign_in_at 4. current_sign_in_ip 5. last_sign_in_ip Please refer https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/issues/953#issue-717719for more details.
