I thought it could have be.

Work_mem was 131mb and I reduced it to 60mb. Errors keep starting after one day and half.

Perhaps your "work_mem" setting is causing the memory problems. Try reducing it to see if that alleviates the problem.

I would also lookup the definition of shared buffers and effective cache. If I remember correctly you can think of
sharedbuffers as how much memory total PostgreSQL has to work with. Effective cache is how much memory is available for
PostgreSQLto run, shared buffers, as well as an estimate of how much memory is available to the OS to cache files in
memory.So effective cache should be equal to or larger than shared buffers. Effective cache is used to help with the
SQLplanning.  

Double check the documentation.
