Hi guys, and happy holidays.

My /pgsql/14/main/pg_wal directory is filling up. The server is not respecting the wal_keep_size = 100GB. I have no replication slots in this server, and I have already restarted PostgreSQL. 

I don’t know what else to look for. Would appreciate any help.

My postgresql.conf can be found below:

data_directory = '/pgsql/14/main'
