Hi @Nagib! 👋

I think Elasticsearch is blocking writes because of low disk space and App Search interpreting it as read-only mode. I would try to solve this problem on the Elasticsearch side.

Also found this post, maybe it'll help: [Elasticsearch Docker: flood stage disk watermark [95%] exceeded](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elasticsearch-docker-flood-stage-disk-watermark-95-exceeded/248479)
