Is there any other thing running with that database? If so, I would consider a locking problem. CREATE/ALTER ROLE should never take too much time, unless there is some kind of lock in a global catalog.

Subject: database lagging
I am doing CIS Benchmart on Postgreql 12. After alter parameters and when I tried to create a new role. It's lagging and didn't prompt out the result, until I hit the ctl C key. Even alter role. All I needed to hit ctl C key if not, it hung there for ever. Is there a way to fix it?
postgres=# create role appuser;
^CCancel request sent
CREATE ROLE
postgres=# ALTER ROLE appuser NOSUPERUSER;
^CCancel request sent
ALTER ROLE
postgres=# ALTER ROLE appuser NOREPLICATION;
^CCancel request sent
ALTER ROLE
postgres=# ALTER ROLE appuser NOCREATEROLE;

ALTER ROLE
postgres=# ALTER ROLE appuser NOHERIT;
