In the following scenario:
Two locations, three centers, 221, one of the 2s went down, online modification of max-replicas from 5 to 3, downgraded to three replicas, making the remaining 2 the primary center majority.

Mainly, I want to know if it supports online reduction of replica count.
P.S: Previously, I communicated online with people from PingCAP, and they said the cluster needs to be restarted to make changes…

Maybe, if it doesn’t work, try manually: pd-ctl config set max-replicas 1
