'Godot 4.0. how stop a auto call SceneTreeTimer?

I have this code :

extends Area2D

func _ready() -> void : auto_call()
    
func auto_call() : 
    await get_tree().create_timer(1, false).timeout
    print( "area autocall" )
    auto_call()

func stop_auto_call() : 
    auto_call = null # how stop?

I know, I can use two options : create a normal Timer or save the references in a global array to later stop it/them, but... it could take a lot of refactoring in several nodes.

I'm tring desactive or pause the node and the code works... less the auto_call calls. I try using unreference(), null, stoping : process, input and physics. But nothing. I see a little hope with get_tree().get_processed_tweens() but it see than don't exist any for SceneTreeTimer. Anyone knows what to do, alternatives or ideas?

Consider just using tween? Would be nice if timer had the same capabilities but...

extends Node

var _tween: Tween

func _ready() -> void:
    # every 1 second call _auto_call
    _tween = create_tween().set_loops()
    _tween.tween_callback(_auto_call).set_delay(1)
    # cancel after 10 seconds
    await get_tree().create_timer(10).timeout
    _stop_auto_call()

func _auto_call():
    print( "area autocall" )

func _stop_auto_call() :
    _tween.kill()
