Hello,

I have set ilm rules to move hot indexes to warm indexes and move them into warm node. Now all my indexes are located on the hot nodes and eate up all my disk while the warm node are free and not doing anything having a bunch of disk available. Is here anyone who can help me fixing the issues?

My ilm rules look like this:

```auto

Can you share a screenshot of your config in Elastic Cloud page that looks like this;
