Have you confirmed that the above is actually in effect by doing?:

show max_connections;

No pg-bouncer or connection pooling.
ps -elf | grep postgres | grep idle | wc -l  ==>    61

and BTW: Running, say 500 one command psql in parallel will have the same 
affect..

Hmm. In psql on the cluster in question what does below return?:

show max_connections;

Hi,

Will appreciate a hint here.

Running on a big and stressed AIX platform and receiving lots of "CDTFATAL:  sorry, 
too many clients already"
and transient difficulty to log in.

Happens on all PG versions (Tested 9.5,10.4,11.5)

Big installation: max_connections is 1200,  shared_buffers is 2GB

But .. select count(*) from pg_stat_activity   is only 66.

Thanks

Danny


Lots of idle, kept-alive clients?  Do you have a connection pooler (e.g. 
pg-bouncer)?
