I have an ElectricSQL service deployed that was working fine last week, but this Monday, May 13, 2026, the active slot in postrgres became inactive, which could cause problems in production.

The slot became incative because ElectricSQL disconnected most likely. That's why Postgres marked the slot as inactive . Try restarting/redeploying the ElectricSQL service. It should reconnect to the database. If it doesn't reconnect, you should drop the slot manually and reconfigure ElectricSQL.
You can also set max_slot_wal_keep_size to a fixed size, so it doesn't consume your entire volume when there is an inactive slot.
