Thanks for the help Laurenz 

After researching on those bugs (this was not exactly the same conditions but the recovery stopped )  we made another
trywith a minor version from   the primary (14.11)  and installed 14.09. 
 
The result was different  with the primary connected and streaming 100% on the secondary , with 100% replay achieved ,
ie:recovery didn't stop working!! 
 

state            | streaming
sent_lsn         | 8F32/C9A72F18
write_lsn        | 8F32/C9A72F18
flush_lsn        | 8F32/C9A72F18
replay_lsn       | 8F32/C9A72F18

It was running the whole weekend normally without hanging up  on syncing,  but we detect that  one particular  table
wasnot synced (the others seems to being updated normally) 
 

Primary 

pmx=# select now(), * from tstamp;
-[ RECORD 1 ]-------------------------
now    | 2026-06-07 04:27:25.443001-07
tstamp | 2026-06-07 04:27:01.9337-07 ———>here  

Secondary 
pmx=# select now(), max(time) from activity_log;
-[ RECORD 1 ]----------------------
now    | 2026-06-07 04:27:01.368247-07
tstamp | 2026-06-04 18:02:02.446899-07———>here 


Did we hit another bug?
