OK. The explanation makes sense, but leads to problem - we have 50
max replication slots, which gives me 20 spare slots.

And I'm not sure how much should I increase it so that it will still
work.

Plus - there is the problem that increasing max_replication_slots
requires restart :(

Anyway, will deal with it, now that I understand the issue. Thanks
a lot.

Best regards,

depesz
