Hi

this plan looks well

Here's one that's not quite as well: http://explain.depesz.com/s/SgT

I see a possible issue

(product_id <> '81716'::citext) .. this operation is CPU expensive and maybe nonsense

product_id should be integer -- and if it isn't - it should not be on 4M rows extremly fast - mainly on citext

try to force a opposite cast - you will safe a case insensitive text comparation

product_id::int <> 81716

It might not always be an integer, just happens to be so here. Should I try text instead? I don't have to have the case-insensitive matching.

Oops, didn't run vacuum analyze after deleting the events. Here is another 'explain analyze': http://explain.depesz.com/s/AviN

I have an events table that records page views and purchases (type = 'viewed' or type='purchased'). I have a query that figures out "people who bought/viewed this also bought/viewed that".

It worked fine, taking about 0.1 seconds to complete, until a few hours ago when it started taking hours to complete. Vacuum/analyze didn't help.  Turned out there was one session_id that had 400k rows in the system. Deleting that made the query performant again. 

Is there anything I can do to make the query work better in cases like that? Missing index, or better query?

After removing the session with 400k events, I was able to do an explain analyze, here is one of them:
