hi @test987654123 do you have any plugin installed? Are you using the security plugin by any chance?

[MrYueQ]

Hi, Because it is in the test environment, there is any plugin。

Ok thanks for your feedback, see #32238 for an explanation on this issue. It's a known problem when xpack security is used, and an alias that points to both closed and open indices is accessed. Closing as a duplicate of #32238.
