Overrides to for email channel

I'm using self hosted Novu 0.22 with custom SMTP provider I read that I can override some attributes from this page: https://docs.novu.co/channels-and-providers/email/overview#sending-email-overrides I want to send a different e-mail than the subscriber one (Sending a link for validating email address changes before changing subscriber actual email)

{
         "name": "user-account-username-modification-validation",
         "to": "652f866f9203e3869e6db7c2",
         "overrides": {
             "email": {
                  "to" : "new@email.com"
              }
         },
         "payload": { "deeplink" : "http://...." },
         "tenant": {
           "identifier": "r43h8301_Vly38wsrHG"
         }
       }

{
         "name": "user-account-username-modification-validation",
         "to": "652f866f9203e3869e6db7c2",
         "overrides": {
             "email": {
                  "to" : "new@email.com"
              }
         },
         "payload": { "deeplink" : "http://...." },
         "tenant": {
           "identifier": "r43h8301_Vly38wsrHG"
         }
       }

I assume that it should send it to new@email.com and not the one that is setted for subscriber (old@email.com). I still get to the old one. Am I missing something? I added a screen capture of the step timeline and nothing seems to say that there is overrides

It seems weirder than I though: Having a string into to attribute, only the subscriber receive, having an array, it send to both subscriber and recipients that are in the array. I guess it's not overriding, but adding
