If the client application (or pooler) doesn't close the database
connections gracefully, it might take some time before the server
figures out the connection is dead and frees the resources on the
server side. Does the server log say anything about broken
connections or client not responding?
Also, the pooler might maintanin some *minimum* number of
connections but go beyond that "on demand". Without knowing what
pooler and how it is configured, it's hard to say what might be
going on.
