Snapshot restore failure

[nuwancs (Nuwan Chamara)]

Hi Team,
I am trying to create and restore snapshots to make a huge data set for my testing purposes. Initially, I created few snapshots and restored them successfully. But suddenly I can't restore newly created indices. I haven't made any changes to the system and the only difference is data volume is bigger now.

Elasticsearch version: 6.3.0, single node setup

Snapshot Created
PUT /_snapshot/nuwan-backup2/snapshot_transactions-cl2-2018.11.27-reindexed-x3?wait_for_completion=true
{
"indices": "transactions-2018.11.27-reindexed-1543757375.64",
"ignore_unavailable": true,

I have incorrectly configured restore request, it should be

POST /_snapshot/nuwan-backup2/snapshot_transactions-cl2-2018.11.27-reindexed-x3/_restore
    {
      "indices": "transactions-2018.11.27-reindexed-1543757375.64",
      "ignore_unavailable": true,
      "include_global_state": true,
      "rename_pattern": "transactions-2018.11.27-reindexed-1543757375.64",
      "rename_replacement": "snapshot-x2"
    }
