Get total on search API for issues using JQL

According to the Atlassian documentation (https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-search/#api-group-issue-search),
the "/rest/api/3/search" endpoint is now deprecated. I’m migrating to the JQL-based version "/rest/api/3/search/jql", but I noticed that the total field is no longer included in the response.

I came across a suggestion to set maxResults=0 (see https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/find-the-total-number-of-work-items-in-jira-cloud-using-jql-or-issue-search-1319567658.html), but when I try that I get an error saying maxResults must be between 1 and 5000.

So how can I retrieve the total number of items for a search?

To save a bit of time. You need a POST and send that body. Put the JQL in between the "".
