It is more than 30 minutes, and I do not see any status on snapshot though the state says it is in progress

/\_tasks api also doesn't list any.

NOTE 1: Have observed the same behavior earlier with just 3 indices, and after 30 minutes it was completed with all shards. (Related thread [Reg: Snapshots](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/reg-snapshots/132702))

Rechecking again as I didn't get any response. Observing the same behavior even when I snapshot the complete cluster, which is appx. 5TB (Primary). Not able to find %age of snapshot completed.
