Find that the function signature in the documentation requires an input of
"regclass" and ignore attempts to pass anything but that to the function.

pg_table_size ( regclass ) → bigint

I observe in v13 that the expected syntax works just fine:

select pg_table_size((table_schema || '.' || table_name)::regclass) from
information_schema.tables;
