Hello !

I have the following ILM policy (just hot phase and delete) :

```
PUT _ilm/policy/test_policy
{
  "policy": {
    "phases": {
      "hot": {
        "min_age": "0ms",
        "actions": {
          "rollover": {
            "max_size": "1gb"
          }
        }
      },
      "delete": {
        "min_age": "365d",
        "actions": {
          "delete": {}
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```

When looking at an index settings, I see "creation\_date": "1576515789626" (Monday, December 16, 2019)

When looking at **Current action time** in ILM Summary, I see this :

**Does it means that index has reached his max size in 6 days**? (and so will be deleted 365 days after, so on 2020-12-22 ?)

Thanks for your feedback !
