Did you determine this by looking at select * from some_seq?
select dd, (select max(id) from some_frequently_changed_table where
created < dd) as id
FROM generate_series
( '2023-11-24 10:50'::timestamp
, '2023-11-22 10:30'::timestamp
, '-1 minute'::interval) dd
;

Sequence is incremented by 100, so for example, between 2023-11-24
10:20:00 and 2023-11-24 10:21:00 it went up 62188671 steps. I think it
is not possible to insert 62188671 rows into a table. A psql function
might be able to increment a sequence 62M times / minute, I'm not sure.
Am I correct in assuming id has as it's default nextval(<the_sequence>)?
If so it would seem to me something was doing a lot of INSERTS between
2023-11-24 10:20:00.000 and 2023-11-24 10:21:00.000.
And there is nothing in the logs in that time period besides
"checkpoints are happening too frequently"?
Do you have:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-logging.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-LOGGING-WHAT
log_statement
set to at least 'mod'?
We are using dev databases that are created from snapshots of the
standby. There is a possibility that a dev database instance (created
from a snapshot of the standby) might have connected the primary just
before it was reconfigured to be standalone. Can this be a problem?
Was your original report for the dev databases also?
How are the snapshots being taken?
