Hello Mateusz

Thank you for your answer.

If it is like that, there is not any problem. I tried to find an explanation that hot standby archive wal files or not but I couldn't.
Is this information  from the Documentation?

Best Regards,
Alpaslan

It is becoming increasingly obvious that you never actually performed
a switchover: it seems that you didn't promote the standby.

Either use

  pg_ctl promote -D /path/to/datadir

on the command line or

  SELECT pg_promote();

in SQL.

From what you sent:
 
"After switchover since 01.02.2024 hot standby server does not archive wal files. I couldn't find the problem."
Hot standby normally does not archive WAL files. Only the primary server does that unless you have archive_mode set to "always" but your configuration shows that you have it "on" only.

"related postgresql.conf lines:
archive_mode = on "

Mateusz
