Hi,
Unfortunately there is no pg_stat_activity data available as we are unaware
of the issue until it has already happened.
The version we are on is 12.11.
I don't think it is due to locks as there are none in the logs. Vacuums are
logged also and none occur before or after this event. Checkpoint timeout
is set to 1 hour and these events do not coincide with checkpoints.
