How to pull array of documents from array of documents?

I have a document like this

{
    users: [
        {
            name: 'John',
            id: 1
        },
        {
            name: 'Mark',
            id: 2
        },
        {
            name: 'Mike',
            id: 3
        },
        {
            name: 'Anna',
            id: 4
        }
    ]
}

and I want to remove users from the array with ids 2 and 4. To do that I execute the following code:

const documents = [
    {
        id: 2
    },
    {
        id: 4
    },
]
Model.updateOne({ document_id: 1 }, { $pull: { users: { $in: documents } } });

But it doesn't remove any user.

Could you say me what I'm doing wrong and how to achieve the needed result?

This works if you can redefine the structure of your documents array:

const documents = [2, 4]
Model.updateOne({ document_id: 1 }, { $pull: { users: { id: { $in: documents } } } })
