Either drop max connections or work_mem is what I'd do to start with.
If you have one or two reporting apps that need it higher, then set it
higher for just those connections / users
Thanks much. So does dropping work_mem to the default of 1MB sound good?
By moving databases around we're getting max_connections below 600 or 700.
