When attempting to change the instance type from t3.small.search to t3.medium.search on a development domain in Amazon OpenSearch Service, the following message was displayed.

Autotuneisnotsupportedint2/t3instancetypes.Disableautotuneorchangeyourinstancetype.

I could not find the Autotune setting in the UI, but the following page described how to do it using the CLI.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/latest/developerguide/auto-tune.html#auto-tune-enable

So I ran the following command.

aws--odapouemtnaosi-enta-urnncaehm-eouppmtdyia-otdneos-mdaDoiemnsaii\rne-dcSotnaftieg=D\ISABLED

After that, I was able to successfully change the instance type.

I am not fully aware of the disadvantages of disabling or not using the Autotune feature, but I hope this is helpful for anyone facing the same issue.
