One problem is that the rowcount estimate is badly off: | Index Scan using other_events_1004175222_pim_core_custom_2_8e65d072fbdd_idx on public.other_events_1004175222 (cost=0.57..1,213,327.64 rows=1,854,125 width=32) (actual time=450.588..29,057.269 rows=23 loops=1) To my eyes, this looks like a typo ; it's used in the index predicate as well as the query, but maybe it's still relevant ? | #close_onborading -- Justin
