Hi @Gadapa_Vasundhara, Can you explain what you mean by a reindex size limit? [As per the documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-reindex.html#docs-reindex-api-query-params) there is a default timeout for requests of 1m. There are also options to run the request [asynchronously](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-reindex.html#docs-reindex-task-api) or [parallelising via slices](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-reindex.html#docs-reindex-slice) if you find you're timing out. Hope that helps! ---
