Based on the query below, I want to find `percentile bucket` of the values I am getting from `date_histogram` aggregation.

Below is my working query to find the day-wise total for the last 7 days, I am not sure where should I add the query code to find the 80th percentile of `the daily sum of baseValueUnitAmount` as well as what aggregation I should use `percentiles_bucket` or `percentiles`?

my query :

```auto
{
 "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [],
      "filter": [
        {
          "bool": {
            "filter": [
              {
                "bool": {
                  "should": [
                    {
                      "match_phrase": {
                        "displayName.keyword": "Cold"
                      }
                    }
                  ],
                  "minimum_should_match": 1
                }
              },
              {
                "bool": {
                  "should": [

                }
              }
            ]
          }
        },

            }
          }
        }
      ],
      "should": [],
      "must_not": []
    }
  },
