231*TB* seems, to me, an unreasonably large number.

Hello,
Is there a known issue with temp file reporting? I have a production db
that is reporting 231TB of temp space usage, which can’t be true.
temp_blks_written in pg_stat_statements sort of confirms this, as the
reported queries show just a few MB of temp space usage. I suspect a
reboot will clear this (to do) and wanted to check with you to see if
someone else has had similar experiences.
