I have issue with rollover using date math Elastic ver 7.13. Tried all recommendations from this site but it still not rollover using new date.Please tell me what wrong configured?  
My configuration:  
**Template:**  
`Preformatted text`PUT /\_index\_template/rwr\_template

```auto
{
  "index_patterns": [
    "*base_elements_rwr*"
  ],
  "priority": 0,
  "template": {
    "settings": {
      "index.lifecycle.name": "rwr_size_policy",
      "index.lifecycle.rollover_alias": "rwr_alias",
      "index.lifecycle.parse_origination_date":true,
      
      "number_of_shards": 1,
      "number_of_replicas": 0
      
    },
    "mappings": {
      "properties": {...

```

**Policy:**

```auto
PUT _ilm/policy/rwr_size_policy
{
  "policy": {
    "phases": {
      "hot": {                                
        "actions": {
          "rollover": {
            "max_size": "1gb"
          }
        }
      },
      "delete": {
        "min_age": "3d",
        "actions": {
          "delete": {}
        }
      }....

```

**Create index by date math:**  
`Preformatted text`PUT %3Cbase\_elements\_rwr-%7Bnow%2Fd%7D-000001%3E  
As result :base\_elements\_rwr-2021.08.12-000001

**Alias:**

```auto
POST _aliases
{
  "actions": [
    {
      "add": {
        "index": "base_elements_rwr-2021.08.12-000001",
        "alias": "rwr_alias",
        "is_write_index" : true
      }
    }.....

```

**Explain command result**

```auto
{
  "indices" : {
    "base_elements_rwr-2021.08.12-000001" : {
      "index" : "base_elements_rwr-2021.08.12-000001",
      "managed" : true,
      "policy" : "rwr_size_policy",
      "lifecycle_date_millis" : 1628726400000,
      "age" : "6.7h",
      "phase" : "hot",
      "phase_time_millis" : 1628748130406,
      "action" : "complete",
      "action_time_millis" : 1628750188345,
      "step" : "complete",
      "step_time_millis" : 1628750188345,
      "phase_execution" : {
        "policy" : "rwr_size_policy",
        "phase_definition" : {
          "min_age" : "0ms",
          "actions" : {
            "rollover" : {
              "max_size" : "1gb"
            }
          }
        },
        "version" : 1,

I don't believe you can currently use date math in the definitions like this.
