Hi, Will appreciate a hint here. Running on a big and stressed AIX platform and receiving lots of "CDTFATAL: sorry, too many clients already" and transient difficulty to log in. Happens on all PG versions (Tested 9.5,10.4,11.5) Big installation: max_connections is 1200, shared_buffers is 2GB But .. select count(*) from pg_stat_activity is only 66. Thanks Danny
