If you use [{{ilm-init}} rollover](elasticsearch://reference/elasticsearch/index-lifecycle-actions/ilm-rollover.md), `min_age` is calculated relative to the time the index was rolled over. This is because the [rollover API](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/elasticsearch/operation/operation-indices-rollover) generates a new index and updates the `age` of the previous index to reflect the rollover time. If the index hasn’t been rolled over, then the `age` is the same as the `creation_date` for the index.
