<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>When upgrading this module from 2.1.1 to 2.1.2 (on Drupal 10.4.6), I can no longer create users without getting the following error:</p>
<blockquote><p>
The website encountered an unexpected error. Try again later.</p>
<p>LogicException: The database connection is not serializable. This probably means you are serializing an object that has an indirect reference to the database connection. Adjust your code so that is not necessary. Alternatively, look at DependencySerializationTrait as a temporary solution. in Drupal\Core\Database\Connection->__sleep() (line 1920 of core/lib/Drupal/Core/Database/Connection.php).
</p></blockquote>
<p>The stack trace that followed showed batch functions, which gave me the clue about where the problem is occurring. I am adding a batch on user insert (this is not new, it's been working for years); if I remove the batch, the error does not occur.</p>
<h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4>
<p>Set a batch on user insert. A simple example (which doesn't do anything) is provided below; and even though I am passing user here (because my actual use case requires it), the error occurs even if user is not passed to the batch process.</p>
