ActiveRecord update_all does not instantiate the objects and does not trigger callbacks. As of version 6.0.2 Airblade still will not insert new versions in the versions table when using update_all or batch updates. See issue #337

If you're dealing with a small amount of data at a time, you can trigger callbacks by calling update on the relation in Rails 5 docs.

Billing.where("title LIKE '%Rails%'").update(author: 'David')

If you're using a previous version of Rails, you'll need to loop through the collection of objects and call update on each instance.
