That is evidence that you may have a problem with some long-running transaction which stays open for days, possibly "idle in transaction". Bloat will accumulate, without any vacuum being able to prevent it or recover from it, until the transaction terminates. It will not show up as free space in your vacuum verbose output while the transaction remains open; although I believe it will show up in the "dead row versions cannot be removed yet" count. > Finding out which table the toast belongs to would be great, maybe > that helps further investigation.
