What is the pgbouncer's timeout in the server connections ?
How about "idle in transaction" ? do you get any of those? What's the
isolation level ?
How about the user ? is this the same user doing pgadmin queries VS via
the app ?
Can you identify the user under which the problem is manifested and :
ALTER user "unlucky_user" SET log_statement = 'all';
ALTER user "unlucky_user" SET log_min_duration_statement = 0; -- to help
you debug the prepared statements .. just in case , and other stuff not
printed by log_statement = all.
