prevent nvim unwanted TextChanged events in lua

i use vim-auto-save for vim and autosave.nvim for neovim, i set both to save only in InsertLeave but in insert mode, when i press Enter within a pair of braces {}, (), [], to insert a newline, the plugin saves the file automatically, and i prevent this using: autocmd TextChanged,TextChangedI <buffer> silent noautocmd in my .vimrc and tried to apply the same to init.lua using vim.cmd: vim.cmd("autocmd TextChanged,TextChangedI <buffer> silent noautocmd") but this doesn't work

I use this plugin for autosaving in nvim. This works well. You can add these lines in your plugin config file for auto saving in normal mode and after text change event.

{
    enabled = true,
    execution_message = {
        message = function()
            return ("AutoSave: saved at " .. vim.fn.strftime("%H:%M:%S"))
        end,
        dim = 0.18, 
    },
    trigger_events = {"InsertLeave", "TextChanged"}, 
    condition = function(buf)
        local fn = vim.fn
        local utils = require("auto-save.utils.data")

        if
            fn.getbufvar(buf, "&modifiable") == 1 and
            utils.not_in(fn.getbufvar(buf, "&filetype"), {}) then
            return true
        end
        return false 
    end,
    write_all_buffers = false,  
    debounce_delay = 135,
    callbacks = { 
        enabling = nil, 
        disabling = nil,
        before_asserting_save = nil,
        before_saving = nil,
        after_saving = nil, 
    }
}

This is the default configuration of this plugin, consider configuring yourself as you want
