Ok I had to return post_id for it to be saved.
Still, I don’t get why with this code, when the honeypot ‘surname3’ is not empty, the form still get saved, altough completely empty.

Isn’t die supposed to terminate the whole process?

function my_honey_pot( $post_id ) {
	if(! empty($_POST['surname3'])){
		die("");
    } else {
		return $post_id;				
	}
}
add_action('acf/pre_save_post' , 'my_honey_pot'  );
