Can someone show me the right syntax for using point in time in elastic search on node js client. I'm trying like this:

```auto
const body = {
      query: {
        geo_shape: {
          geometry: {
            relation: 'within',
            shape: {
              type: 'polygon',
              coordinates: [$polygon],
            },
          },
        },
      },
      pit: {
        id: "t_yxAwEPZXNyaS1wYzYtMjAxN3IxFjZxU2RBTzNyUXhTUV9XbzhHSk9IZ3cAFjhlclRmRGFLUU5TVHZKNXZReUc3SWcAAAAAAAALmpMWQkNwYmVSeGVRaHU2aDFZZExFRjZXZwEWNnFTZEFPM3JReFNRX1dvOEdKT0hndwAA",
        keep_alive: "1m",
      },
    };
    return client.search({
      body: body,
    } 

```

and it gives me search\_phase\_execution\_exception  
This query works fine in Kibana so I guess the problem is in syntax.
