Hi Team, Can you please let me know what exactly` "Timing for Warm phase"` means . My Hot Phase Time is` 50GB` or `30 days` , and my index reaches `50 GB` in `5 days` , but i would like to keep the index in Hot phase for another 7 more days` (total 12 days in Hot)` then move to Warm phase. In the Warm Phase i have set the ` "Timing for Warm phase"` to `7 days` , will my index be moved to warm phase after `12 days`. Please help ![ILMT_Timing](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/d/4dedc38ad2342addaf00c000054c00be13d021c1.jpeg) ---
