+.`xpack.searchable.snapshot.shared_cache.size` is no longer a supported user setting for {ess}
+[%collapsible]
+====
+*Details* +
+You can no longer configure
+{ref}/searchable-snapshots.html#searchable-snapshots-shared-cache[`xpack.searchable.snapshot.shared_cache.size`]
+on {ess} deployments running {es} 7.13 or a later version. This setting reserves
+disk space for the shared cache of partially mounted indices. {es} now
+automatically configures the setting to 90% of total disk space for frozen data
+tier nodes and to `0b` for non-frozen data tier nodes.
+
+*Impact* +
+If you use {ess} and previously configured
+`xpack.searchable.snapshot.shared_cache.size`, remove it from your
+{cloud}/ec-add-user-settings.html[user settings] before upgrading to 7.13 or a
+later version. Otherwise, attempts to upgrade the deployment will fail and
+return an error.
