Are there any policy on Splunk would block REST API searches?

i am trying to search over REST API, seeing "All Time searches don't adhere to Splunk best practices" Error.  Any policy on Splunk would block REST API searches ?

curl -u 'XXXX' -k https://splunkapi.example.com/services/search/jobs -d search='search index="webaccess" status=403 earliest_time=-1d'

curl -u 'XXXX' -k https://splunkapi.example.com/services/search/jobs -d search='search index="webaccess" status=403 earliest=-1d@d latest=now()'

<msg type="FATAL">Please reduce your search to a smaller time range. All Time searches don't adhere to Splunk best practices</msg>

Try specifying timerange as parameters to the rest call, not as parameters within the search.
