You can also use $guarded to allow all other attributes to be fillable

protected $guarded = ['id'];

See eloquent documentation on GuardsAttributes

created_at is not typically mass assigned like that. You probably need to add it to the $fillable attribute on your Post model, eg:

protected $fillable = [...., 'created_at'];

Note that as someone else pointed out, Carbon::today() does not seem like the right thing to use - it works and gives a valid timestamp, but the timestamp is for midnight. You probably want Carbon::now(), if you really want the actual time of the change.

Carbon::today() is not actually generating a valid timestamp. You need to use Carbon::today()->toDateTimeString() to get a valid timestamp.

Updated snippet:

public function Controller(Posts $post){
    $post->update(['created_at' => Carbon::today()->toDateTimeString()]);
}

try this

public function Controller(Posts $post){
      $post->created_at = Carbon::today();
      $post->save(['timestamps' => false]);
}
