This is very, very old and has been EOL a long time. I would recommend you upgrade to the latest version.

It sounds like you are using an AWS managed service. This likely limits the troubleshooting that can be done so I would recommend contacting AWS support.

yes we are using AWS Managed Service and also reached out the AWS Support is advised to change the EBS Volume.
we changed it. After changing the EBS Volume we are facing that issue

What is the full output of the [cluster stats API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.8/cluster-stats.html)?
