Can you please refer to this post to retune PostgreSQL. If that doesn't resolve the issue then please report your problem as described here where we can review your setup/settings and advise you accordingly. Thank you.

If your 'max_connections' setting is a value lower than 100 then change that to 100, save the change and restart your PostgreSQL service (you can do this via Windows services or in PokerTracker 4 via 'Database -> Database Management -> Restart Service).

Hi,

I keep having the same issue with the 4.18.15 version. I get the same error message and PT4 gets super slow, HUD doesnt show or is way behind (showing stats of previous players etc) and when I stop the import it just crashes. I found a work around (where it is still super slow), where I after the session start get hand while playing, immediately stop it and then get the prompt whether old files that were found should be imported.
I had done a full DB management as described by You already.
The postgreSQL file says this:

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# CUSTOMIZED OPTIONS
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Add settings for extensions here

# DB Version: 12
# OS Type: windows
# DB Type: web
# Total Memory (RAM): 32 GB
# Data Storage: ssd

max_connections = 200

....

# CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# - Connection Settings -

listen_addresses = '*' # what IP address(es) to listen on;
# comma-separated list of addresses;
# defaults to 'localhost'; use '*' for all
# (change requires restart)
port = 5432 # (change requires restart)
# Modified 'max_connections' from '100' to '20' by PokerTracker 4.18.14
# Modified 'max_connections' from '20' to '100' by PokerTracker 4.18.15
max_connections = 100 # (change requires restart)


So honestly I do not know what to do anymore at this point

The custom settings you have added are not correct - this should have been configured as a desktop application instead of a web application. Please delete everything under 'CUSTOMIZED OPTIONS', save the change and retune PostgreSQL once more using PokerTracker v4.18.15.

If the issue persists then turn on 'Enable Logging' in PokerTracker 4 via 'Configure -> Options' and then restart PokerTracker 4. Next reproduce the issue you've described and then create a support bundle via the 'File -> Create Support Bundle' menu option in PokerTracker 4. When that file has been saved attach your support bundle to a Support Ticket where a technician can review your logs and follow up with you.

Housekeeping fixed the problem for me.
