Since I updated ACF from 5.2.7 to 5.3.0 I got an infinite loop while saving a post. I am not sure what infos you need, but I can send you the part that causing the issue.

// in class constructor
add_filter( 'acf/update_value/key=fund_name', array( $this, 'update_post_title' ), 10, 3 );
add_filter( 'acf/update_value/key=fund_description', array( $this, 'update_post_content' ), 10, 3 );

// class methods
/**
 * Update post title after saving country selection
 *
 * @param $value
 * @param $post_id
 * @param $field
 *
 * @return mixed
 */
function update_post_title( $value, $post_id, $field ) {

	// update post
	$my_post = array(
		'ID'         => $post_id,
		'post_title' => $value,
	);

	wp_update_post( $my_post );

	return $value;
}

/**
 * Update post content after saving description
 *
 * @param $value
 * @param $post_id
 * @param $field
 *
 * @return mixed
 */
function update_post_content( $value, $post_id, $field ) {
	// update post
	$my_post = array(
		'ID'           => $post_id,
		'post_content' => $value,
	);

	wp_update_post( $my_post );

	return $value;
}

Thanks for checking this issue.

This has been coming up a bit lately here. Take a look at this topic, it has some information on what needs to be done. http://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/update-value-function-causes-timeout/
