Thanks @Nathan_Reese

it looks like the precision\_control threshold still does not allow for exact counts above the max threshold (40,000). Do you know if setting the "size" threshold to 0 works with cardinality aggregation?

Based on this [thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/option-for-exact-aggregation-instead-of-approximation/44996) it seems like that's an option for getting an exact count, but I can't seem to get it to work with the cardinality aggregation I'm using.
