Hello guys.

After setting max_standby_streaming_delay to 120s it got a lot better. But the 
replication delay is still happening quite often, except this time goes up to 
120s only.

I know that max_standby_streaming_delay stands for how long the standby server 
should wait before canceling standby queries that conflict with 
about-to-be-applied WAL entries, but this is causing some headache and I was 
wondering if you guys have other suggestions?

What I could do next? Do you think by upgrading PostgreSQL from 9.2 to 13 will 
somehow improve that?
