What happens is that if I do a select nextval('seq') I get a number

ALTER SEQUENCE seq RESTART WITH <max + 1>;
select pg_catalog.setval(seq, <max+1>, true);
Your sequence was probably created with the CACHE parameter. This
will cause each session to cache n values from the sequence.
Resetting the sequence from another session will not affect the others
until they've gone through all their cached values.
