On my windows search heads some of the searches showing skipped status. Some of them are running and some of them are not.
status=skipped, scheduled_time=1418934000.

i have checked below things.
disk quota limit.

That's because adhoc searches are having higher priority over scheduled searches.

How many CPU core in the search head and indexers in your configuration?

You may have increase number of search heads or CPU core since it looks high number of searches are running concurrently.

I guess you're running more searches then your role allows you to run con-currently. Check this link to see how the quota is calculated.
