Completing my previous post : it seems that using $$NOW is the reason why index on creation_date is not used.
Using $$NOW :
{
$match: {
$expr: {
$gte: [
"$creation_date", {
$subtract: ["$$NOW", 345600000]
}
]
}
}
}
Without $$NOW :
{
$match: {
$expr: {
$gte: [
"$creation_date", {
$subtract: [ISODate("2024-05-29T17:11:00.000+00:00"),345600000]
}
]
}
}
}
