>> Hello,

>> my log:
>>
>> WARNING: database "production" must be vacuumed within 4827083
>> transactions
>> HINT: To avoid a database shutdown, execute a full-database VACUUM in
>> "production".
>>
>> This message appeared for five to six hours; after that, the message
>> disappeared from log. Any idea about what could have happened?

About 15 millions rows inserted by day.
