IIUC, the system believes​ your job_entry table has 300k records ALL of them having the UUID value ending in "*b247" - so it is unsurprising that it chooses to sequentially scan job_entry when its given that ID to search for.  And if its given a different ID is realizes it can accurately confirm the absence of the supplied value in the table by using the index.

Yes, I agree. And this explain execution time is fine.  It’s the ’same’ query running in the app for 43 minutes at a shot on the same tables that’s giving me heartburn.

I would suspect that vacuuming these tables would solve your problem.  Whether there is an issue beyond a lack of vacuuming, or related to auto-vacuum, I am unsure.  Though at this point it may take a vacuum full to recover back to a sane state.  Though ANALYZE by itself should clear up the statistical discrepancy.

Auto-vacuum is on, and I was thinking the same re VACUUM fixing it, but, it seems there may be a deeper problem here, hence calling in the people who know things :-)

autovacuum_vacuum_threshold = 5000      # min number of row updates before vacuum
autovacuum_analyze_threshold = 5000     # min number of row updates before
autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor = 0.1    # fraction of table size before vacuum
autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor = 0.05  # fraction of table size before analyze

(Auto)Vacuum was run (no analyze) ~4.5 hours ago (if this query is correct), but maybe another should of been triggered?

But, I may be missing something, my experience and skill here is somewhat limited.

Ditto, at this level.
