There is a help post that is linked in the README, top of auto-py-to-exe and bottom of auto-py-to-exe after each build. In this post, I discuss The Difference Between One Directory and One File - I highly recommend you give that a read.

I believe you are trying to overwrite a file that is part of the initial bundle and are expecting it to stay modified after each run - this is not how one-file mode works. one-file mode unbundles on each run meaning all modified files within the bundles are reset (more about this in the post).
