I have indices which are way older than 90days,

```auto
GET _opendistro/_ism/explain/filebeat-7.11.1-2021.11.03

    "index.plugins.index_state_management.policy_id" : "filebeat",
    "index" : "filebeat-7.11.1-2021.11.03",
    "index_uuid" : "FouOJnaMQtWF_b1dBj3TuQ",

    },
    "action" : {
      "name" : "transition",
      "start_time" : 1654410930220,
      "index" : -1,
      "failed" : false,
      "consumed_retries" : 0,
      "last_retry_time" : 0
    },
    "step" : {
      "name" : "attempt_transition",
      "start_time" : 1654410930565,
      "step_status" : "condition_not_met"
    },
    "retry_info" : {
      "failed" : false,
      "consumed_retries" : 0
    },
    "info" : {
      "message" : "Evaluating transition conditions [index=filebeat-7.11.1-2021.11.03]"
    }
  }
}

```

Why does it say the condition is not met ?
