Currently using index state management created policy to delete indexes which are older than 5 days. Using templates applying policies to new index creations. The policy works well for few days and later old indexes stop getting deleted. In kibana managed indices page, it shows error message "Failed to load policy". How to troubleshoot or resolve this issue?

Given this is an aws feature, you will need to ask them sorry.
