I disable the autocapture but there is still page leave events sent, here is my config

mixpanel.init(import.meta.env.VITE_MIXPANEL_PROJECT_TOKEN, {
    debug: false
    autocapture: false,
    track_pageview: false,
    record_sessions_percent: 0,
    record_heatmap_data: true,
})

my mixpanel version

"mixpanel-browser": "^2.71.0"

Here is screenshot from network devtools

I check a bit, and looks like this line here?
If I enable record_heatmap_data it auto send the page_leave event as well

Hey @fahmifan thanks for the report! There is indeed a bug with the page leave tracking where we are sending these events when record_heatmap_data is true, regardless whether there is a session recording taking place.

The intended behavior is to track these events regardless of the autocapture config when record_heatmap_data is on, but only when there is an active session recording. The idea is that these autocapture events like click, rageclick, pagelave etc are useful as context for your session replays and heatmaps, and are therefore included for free as part of the session replay.

We'll get this fixed in the next release.
