      Hi, 

      We have a collection with a TTL index set to expire documents after 0 seconds, resulting in the deletion of over 100,000 documents. This aggressive deletion is causing disk saturation. To mitigate this, we set ttlMonitorEnabled: false on the primary server to stop further deletion, but deletions continue across the cluster.

      *

      color: Color value is invalid

      Steps Taken:

      *

      1. Set ttlMonitorEnabled: false on the primary server to halt TTL deletions.
      2. Despite this change, TTL deletions persist cluster-wide.

      We believe this behavior may indicate a bug in the TTL monitor's functionality. plz help on this
