Graphql Update Fails TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading '_id')

any simple graphql update fails with this error

[16:50:45] ERROR (payload): TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading '_id')

payload version:

    "payload": "^1.9.5",

graphql query:

mutation UpdatePath($id: String!, $input: mutationPathUpdateInput!) {
  updatePath(id: $id, data: $input) {
    id
  }
}

variables:

{
  "id": "6491d674bedd83aa362d8585",
  "input": {
    "title": "updated"
  }
}

Collection config:

const Paths: CollectionConfig = {
  slug: "paths",
  versions: false,
  access: {
    read: (req) => {
      return true
    },
    create: (req) => {
      return true;
    },
  },
  fields: [
    {
      name: "title",
      label: "Title",
      type: "text",
    },
  ],
};

I can create an issue in github if needed.
