You did not disable or tune down autovacuum perchance? With materialized view refreshes that often, you probably need fairly aggressive autovacuuming on that table - you can tune autovacuum parameters per table (see Storage parameters). That probably won't put you at 4GB, more around double that size, but it should stay a reasonable size that way.
