We had automatic shard reallocation turned off, because this project used a hot/warm search architecture. Other than that, we had the default values for the watermarks (85% and 90% I believe). In any case, this never threw any 503s, and we kept hitting 100%. The ES documentation is unfortunately not very clear on the precise behaviour when hitting a watermark. – Tom

Couldn’t you just set those to manage your disk space? When the low watermark is breached, new shards are unable to be created and a 503 is thrown IIRC. Is your solution designed to prevent new data being added to existing shards over disk utilization percentage?
