You need to look into the discrepancy between estimated and actual row
counts. (I suppose the reason you're showing 0 rows here is that you
already did these UPDATEs and so none of the rows in question pass the
status filter --- but how many rows are there matching the phon index
conditions?) Perhaps a larger statistics target for the phon column
would be a good idea.
