Value of index.blocks.write is auto changed to false

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

ES ver. 7.4

I want to block all write actions (create/update/delete) to my index. I need it to copy docs to another index using reindex action and keep 100% consistency between indicies.

So what I do is:

curl -X PUT \
  https://elasticsearch/foo-bar/_settings \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
	"index": {
		"blocks": {
			"write": true
		}
	}
}'

Then I verify it:

curl -X GET 'https://elasticsearch/foo-bar/_settings?include_defaults=true'

And the response is correct:

settings.index.blocks.write = true

But after some time about 1 min, this value changes automatically to false.

There is nothing in documentation about anything that manages this value: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/master/index-modules-blocks.html

Does anyone know what happens, what change that value?

On top of my head no component should do that.

You can increase some logging to monitor when this is set by running

PUT /_cluster/settings
{
  "transient": {
    "logger.org.elasticsearch.cluster.service.MasterService": "debug"
  }
}

And check the master node logs. Don't forget to set this to INFO again...

Do you have any component like curator running?
