+The changing of a policy is an asynchronous background process. The change is queued up to happen instead of taking affect immediately. This is to protect the currently running managed indices from being put into a broken state. If the policy you are changing to only has some small configuration changes such as changing `min_index_age` in the rollover condition from `"1000d"` to `"100d"` then the change will happen immediately on the next execution. If the change modifies the state, actions, or order of actions of the current state the index is in then it will happen at the end of the current state before transitioning to a new state.
