I migrated my site to a new instance (Azure to Lightsail, 32gb ram) and am having a host of problems. The site is up and running but not seemingly working. It seems like I’m crashing my instance despite not having much traffic at the moment and having the max Lightsail instance. I can’t seem to do anything on the site: post threads, like posts, etc. I’m getting these errors: Message 'hijack topics timings ' is still running after 90 seconds on db default, this process may need to be restarted!

Ran VACUUM CLEAN in postgres. Still getting these errors in the log: 'hijack topics timings ’ is still running after 90 seconds on db default, this process may need to be restarted! ‘Track Visit’ is still running after 90 seconds on db default, this process may need to be restarted!

@dylanb I’m seeing this on an instance and was wondering if you got any further with your investigation?
