I am using a simple query with aggregation.  
GET testIndex/\_search

```auto
{
  "size": 0,
  "aggs": {
    "Name1": {
      "terms": {
        "field": "field1.keyword",
        "size": 10000
      }
    },
    "Name2":{
      "terms": {
        "field": "field2.keyword",
        "size": 10000
      }
    }
  }
}

```

Here for **Name2** aggregation bucket actual size is more than 10000. But since I am already limiting its length to 10000 from **size** parameter can anyone explain why I am still getting this error:

> Trying to create too many buckets. Must be less than or equal to: [10000] but was [10001]. This limit can be set by changing the [search.max\_buckets] cluster level setting.","max\_buckets":10000}},"status":503}
