Too many buckets, aggregation fails on histogram

I have a query to elastic that contains total 8 nested aggregations, all aggregations are term aggregations except one which is a histogram aggregation. If I remove that histogram aggregation, the query runs perfectly. But with histogram aggregation it is throwing this particular error:

This aggregation creates too many buckets (10001) and will throw an error in future versions. You should update the [search.max_buckets] cluster setting or use the [composite] aggregation to paginate all buckets in multiple requests.

Now I tried increasing the max_buckets size but the size is reaching above 100000 and also that number is not certain so that option is out. Then I tried creating a composite aggregation as suggested in the error but that is also giving the same error with the histogram added.

So my question is am I writing the queries in some wrong fashion or elastic is not feasible enough to create that much of buckets?

Kibana query: (with only 3 levels of nesting, original problem have 8)
