Limitations of Predictive Indexing
I noticed that automatic indexes were not present in several document libraries so I opened a ticket with MS Support (SRX618020694115495ID ) and they provided me the following explanation:

The list view threshold that applies when adding indexes is 20,000 now though I thought? and not 5000 as quoted by the support guy?
LVT is still 5k. But you won't necessarily hit the LVT just because you have >5k items in a list (on-prem 2016 or online). Automatic indexing doesn't kick in until 2500 items.
No I meant the LVT that applies to index creation is now 20,000. The support guy stated that you needed to bring the list items under 5000 which isn't true.
"Hence, if you want indices to be created after the threshold is crossed, the only available options is to bring the items below 5000 and create the index. You can then contact us for restoring all the items from recycle bin deleted by a specific account after a particular date and time."
