You can check if you having some strong queries that were generating a lot of temp files, that will can eat all off free space.

I'm not too familiar with that. Can you point me in the direction of some config settings and maybe queries to execute?

So we run on RDS, and we clearly used up all of our provisioned storage. However, I am baffled, and while I am emailing our AWS support, I wondered if this list might point me in some direction too.

Our provisioned storage was 15TB. The size of our database -- shown in pg_database -- is only 6TB. What in the world could be using that remaining space? I am at a loss, that's a _ton_ of space being used up. Is it some temporary allocation during script execution (seems ginormous, impossible)? It it some WAL log thing?

A fairly common cause of this is orphan replication slots so WAL files are retained. Check

to see if there is an inactive slot that may be preventing the files to be removed.
