Hi there,

Sorry if this isn't the right place for this question but I'm not sure where else to ask.

I currently have an Elastic Cloud deployment with hot, warm, and frozen tiers. Our warm tier blew up in size (and cost) so I want to move everything that's currently in the warm tier to the frozen tier.

I was reading this link but not sure how to implement it in a way to achieve what I'm trying to do:

> **[Move to lifecycle step API | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.9\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/ilm-move-to-step.html)**

I've tried wildcarding it but that doesn't seem to work:

```auto
POST _ilm/move/*
{
  "current_step": {
    "phase": "warm",
    "action": "complete",
    "name": "complete"
  },
  "next_step": {
    "phase": "frozen"
  }
}

```

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
