Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch is unable to parse a specific schedule or duration due to incorrect formatting or syntax. This could be in a cron expression or a time unit. To resolve this issue, ensure that the schedule or duration is correctly formatted according to Elasticsearch’s guidelines.
