Hi @harry_123 

Your rex seems simple and straight forward however the limits.conf having match_limit setting which is by default 100K. In your case the limit is exceeding it could be platform level match_limit setting could have been reduced by admin or really your rex is having too many matches ( unless you share the event this can not be confirmed. You can test same in regex101.com). Refer - limits.conf - Splunk Documentation

Have a chat with admin about of limit and check is there local setting that's getting overriding, you can use splunk btool command to verify.
