SQL error when cleaning up options via cron job

The cron job or WordPress triggers a cleanup process of maspik plugin once a day. Within the file contact-forms-anti-spam/includes/includes/functions.php there is a function named “maspik_clean_expired_ip_check_transients” The errornous SQL is: $wpdb->query(“DELETE FROM {$wpdb->options} WHERE option_name LIKE ‘ transient_maspik_ip_check %’ AND option_name NOT IN (SELECT CONCAT(‘ transient ‘, SUBSTRING(option_name, 20)) FROM {$wpdb->options} WHERE option_name LIKE ‘ transient_timeout_maspik_ip_check %’)”); This creates the following error message: Output: WordPress database error You can’t specify target table ‘wp_options’ for update in FROM clause for query MySQL doesn’t allow to deleting from a table when the subselect is using the same table.
