PostgreSQL version: 15.4
Operating system:   Oracle Linux Server 8.4
Description:

In the process of logical replication from version 13.3 (on Ubuntu 16.04.6
LTS) to version 15.4 (on Oracle Linux Server 8.4), when most of the data has
already been transferred, the following errors begin to occur, appearing
endlessly until you stop the replication process (this situation occurs on
databases larger than at least 50GB, even if there is a small number of
transactions on the source database):
