_cat/indices counts not updating in7.2?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I'm indexing a large number of records using bulk requests and watching the index counts using watch 'curl _cat/indices'. The index counts update for about 30s then stop. If I query the total count of all indexes using 'curl localhost:9200/_count' the '_cat/indices' counts start updating again for around another 30 seconds. In 6.5.4 this didn't happen, has something changed in 7.2?

Using MSI installed ElasticSearch 7.2.0 on windows 10

Indexing delay is the default which should be 1s.

Rarely it might update, maybe to do with a certain merge?

Yes, Elasticsearch now stops refreshing an index if there are no searches happening, for more efficient indexing.
