If you set that to 2B, that means you're 2^31-"2 billion"-1000000 transactions away from a shutdown when autovac finally gets around to trying to run a wraparound vacuum on a table. If you have any number of large tables, that could be a big problem, as autovac could get tied up on a large table for a long enough period that the table needing to be frozen doesn't get frozen in time. I suspect 1B is a much better setting. I probably wouldn't go past 1.5B.
