This part of the logs point to catalog tables, but are there other tables within your system facing the same logs, particularly the database "feedi" with some of your own tables? > postgres=# SELECT oid::regclass, age(relfrozenxid), relfrozenxid FROM > pg_class WHERE relfrozenxid <> 0 ORDER BY age(relfrozenxid) DESC LIMIT > 1; > oid | age | relfrozenxid > -----------+-----------+-------------- > pg_authid | 202793549 | 4284570172 Ugh. I think that this is exactly the thing I was suspecting previously: - The database stats look sane. - The relation stats don't look good and visibly are put in such a state that only one type of jobs gets triggered (non-aggressive but anti-wraparound), which just keep being skipped and the relation stats don't get refreshed. (Such autovacuum jobs should never happen and we have some underlying issues that will need separate care). If you still have the cluster in this current state (perhaps you are not able to keep it longer), could you provide more data about pg_class.relfrozenxid for the tables which are mentioned in the logs of the type "skipping redundant vacuum to prevent of table"? > Let me know if there's anything else useful I can provide.
