Hello, I am struggling to update a deployment. I made some changes successfully yesterday. However today, when I want to change my node configuration, I get this message: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/d/5d8a06dcd864ff7098a16e5fcc6ef898abd06f8e.png) I don't understand the message because there is no dedicated coordinating node. Maybe there was an error with one of the nodes be set as a coordinating node. I did have more nodes yesterday, including master nodes. But I removed then yesterday as well. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/e/1efe7499efd4064e01afdb5997d7d685904f1d17.png) Not sure where to go from here. I restarted the nodes hoping it would fix itself. I have tried many different configuration changes, but any change get this message. I started poking around with the APIs, but I am concerned that I will brick the whole thing. Any help is appreciated. Cheers, ---

Did you raise a support ticket, can you DM me the case number if so? ---

I sent a message through the help page. Does that go to support or do I need to email [support@elastic.co](mailto:support@elastic.co) directly? ---

That will go to support, so you should get contacted within the usual period. The specific issue you are seeing here is of particular interest to me 🙂 ... if you don't have a case number could you DM me the first 6 digits of your cluster id ---

If anyone else is tracking this, it has not been resolved and is now happening with my production cluster as well. Anyone else having this issue? ---
