First, you should probably check your disk quota limit and then check if you hit it every moring? Are you running some force merges as a cronjob maybe? Any other cronjob running at 5am?

You need to make sure you have enough disk space dedicated to Elasticsearch, all the time. This does not only mean enough disk space for the data but also for merges going on.
