            }
        })

Answer 1

You can only create a parent and child records using one method but not to update both. You need to explicitly call update for Order item:

await Cupon.update({
  afiliado_id: afiliadoId,
  status: 'validado'
}, {
 where: {
   id: cupom.id
 }
})
await item.addCupons(cupom.id)

through option is applicable for many-to-many relationships only.
