Hi

What happens when the Elasticsearch license expired?  
Currently, the cluster has assigned a commercial license and it will expire soon, so what will happen once the assigned date expired?

The features that needs a license will stop working, if your license is expiring soon you will already have some information in Elasticsearch logs that says what will happen.

Here is some [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-licenses.html#license-expiration) about it, and here is a [github issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/125702) discussing to add more information of what will happen when the license expires.
