• I have tried restarting my IDE and the issue persists.
• I have updated to the latest version of the packages.
• I have read the FAQ and my problem is not listed.

Repro

(no rule configuration, using plugin:@typescript-eslint/all)

import type { Ref } from '@typegoose/typegoose';
import { prop } from '@typegoose/typegoose';

export class Test
{
    @prop({ ref: () => Test })
    public test?: Ref<Test>;
}

Expected Result

Ref is only used as a type, and is not used by the decorator, no issue should be raised here.

Actual Result

ESLint: Type import "Ref" is used by decorator metadata.(@typescript-eslint/consistent-type-imports)

However, typescript compiles the code fine with 'importsNotUsedAsValues'.

When removing type, typescript compilation fails:

../../src/backend/models/Test.ts:1:1 - error TS1371: This import is never used as a value and must use 'import type' 
because 'importsNotUsedAsValues' is set to 'error'.

1 import { Ref } from '@typegoose/typegoose';
