Grafana variables rewritten as absolute numbers when scenes are enabled

[llamafilm]

Using this plugin in Grafana 11.3.0, the time range variables are sometimes changed to absolute time stamps. This screen recording shows it happening after I duplicate the panel, but that's not the only event that causes it; it also happens sometimes after editing a panel or just refreshing the page.

This problem can be avoided by modifying the Grafana config file like this:

[feature_toggles]
dashboardScene = false

I'm using the plugin build from #268. Unfortunately I don't have a way of testing this with the release version, but I don't think the changes in that PR are relevant here.

The specific query does not matter but here is one example:

SELECT count(*) AS count
FROM prodhive.bdp.particle_google_meet_hardware
WHERE time_usec/1000 >= ${__from} AND time_usec/1000 <= ${__to}
AND event_type = 'ISSUE'
AND dateint > 20241030

Notice in the video, the third line of the query is turned into WHERE time_usec/1000 >= 1730475970811 AND time_usec/1000 <= 1730479570811, and after this happens, changing the time range has no effect.

Could this be a Grafana issue, not an issue with this plugin? I don't even know what Dashboard Scenes are.

I discussed this with Grafana support via email and they think it's a bug in the plugin because they were unable to reproduce it with other SQL data sources.
