Yes its RDS and as you mentioned there does exist a space limitation of ~64TB but as Laurenz mentioned the only time the second standby may crash would be probably because of the storage space saturation and thus we need to have appropriate monitoring in place to find this and get alerted beforehand. And also a monitoring to see how much WAL gets generated per hour/day to get an idea of the usage. I am not sure how to do it , but will check on this.
