it means that something in your database is inserting data to table with
specifying explicit value, like:

insert into table (id, a, b, c) values (123, 'a', 'b', 'c');

and does not rely on sequence.

if nextval() is not called (and it's not if you provide value for id
column in insert) then sequence doesn't increment, and you'll get
errors.

Find what issues these bad inserts, and fix it.
