This script is requiring an empty value for `tag`
Is that different from what you have configured in Curator? What routing attributes are present for the indices in the hot nodes? Which attributes are on the hot and warm nodes, respectively?

this is my shard which located on hot nodes
`{ "myindices-2020-04-images" : { "aliases" : { }, "mappings" : { "images" : { "dynamic" : "strict", "_all" : { "enabled" : false }, "properties" : { "analysis" : { "type" : "keyword" }, "img_alt" : { "type" : "keyword", "fields" : { "text" : { "type" : "text" } } }, "img_external" : { "type" : "boolean" }, "img_height" : { "type" : "keyword" }, "img_main" : { "type" : "boolean" }, "img_title" : { "type" : "keyword" }, "img_url" : { "type" : "keyword", "fields" : { "text" : { "type" : "text", "analyzer" : "simple" } } }, "img_width" : { "type" : "keyword" }, "url" : { "type" : "keyword", "fields" : { "text" : { "type" : "text", "analyzer" : "simple" } } } } } }, "settings" : { "index" : { "routing" : { "allocation" : { "require" : { "storage_type" : "hot", "tag" : "spinning" } } }, "refresh_interval" : "60s", "number_of_shards" : "2", "translog" : { "flush_threshold_size" : "2048mb" }, "provided_name" : "myindices-2020-04-images", "creation_date" : "1579475934787", "requests" : { "cache" : { "enable" : "true" } }, "number_of_replicas" : "1", "uuid" : "OysznECxSNqGvgX--mmwsw", "version" : { "created" : "5060099" } } } } }`
the second shard located on `spinning` nodes
`{ "myindices-2020-01-images" : { "aliases" : { }, "mappings" : { "images" : { "dynamic" : "strict", "_all" : { "enabled" : false }, "properties" : { "analysis" : { "type" : "keyword" }, "img_alt" : { "type" : "keyword", "fields" : { "text" : { "type" : "text" } } }, "img_external" : { "type" : "boolean" }, "img_height" : { "type" : "keyword" }, "img_main" : { "type" : "boolean" }, "img_title" : { "type" : "keyword" }, "img_url" : { "type" : "keyword", "fields" : { "text" : { "type" : "text", "analyzer" : "simple" } } }, "img_width" : { "type" : "keyword" }, "url" : { "type" : "keyword", "fields" : { "text" : { "type" : "text", "analyzer" : "simple" } } } } } }, "settings" : { "index" : { "routing" : { "allocation" : { "require" : { "storage_type" : "spinning", "tag" : "spinning" } } }, "refresh_interval" : "120s", "number_of_shards" : "2", "translog" : { "flush_threshold_size" : "2048mb" }, "provided_name" : "myindices-2019-48-images", "creation_date" : "1574636508725", "requests" : { "cache" : { "enable" : "true" } }, "number_of_replicas" : "0", "uuid" : "5aVjAbGWQyKSdmHCWiGOfQ", "version" : { "created" : "5060099" } } } } }`

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Your script is setting `tag: spinning` to `""`. It will be much easier to troubleshoot this if you set both of them to `null` to completely unset the shard routing. Then, when Curator adds `storage_type: spinning`, it won't have strange competition/contention.
You see, when you have 2 required attributes, both must be present. Your working script appears to only need `storage_type`, since it's setting `tag` to an empty value. This kind of thing will cause issues.

Yes, I also think so, and I added to my curator config one more action before I do allocate, I set `tag ""`, I will test it tomorrow cause I can allocate shard only on the end week
` 2:`
` action: allocation`
` description: >-`
` Apply shard allocation routing to 'require' 'tag=""' for hot node`
` setup for onpage- indices older than 10 weeks, based on index_creation date`
` options:`
` key: tag`
` value: ""`
` allocation_type: require`
` wait_for_completion: true`
` timeout_override:`
` continue_if_exception: false`
` disable_action: false`
` 3:`
` action: allocation`
` description: >-`
` Apply shard allocation routing to 'require' 'storage_type=spinning' for hot/spinning node`
` setup for onpage- indices older than 10 weeks, based on index_creation date`
` options:`
` key: storage_type`
` value: spinning`
` allocation_type: require`
` wait_for_completion: true`
` timeout_override:`
` continue_if_exception: false`
` disable_action: false`
I think it will help me
