The database was extremely slow after the upgrade chewing up 100% cpu time, and it wasn't until I manually ran vacuumdb" --all --analyze-in-stages that cpu usage dropped. Was there a knob that I missed, or is this just a bug in pg_upgrade 15? Thanks.

If you look at the output of pg_upgrade, it still tells you to run
"vacuumdb --all --analyze-in-stages". Since that was the *only*
command that was in the script, the script is no longer generated and
you're expected to run the command directly instead. It does not
remove the need for the job, just instructs you to do it without the
script.

This change was made in PostgreSQL 14, not 15, and is listed in the
release notes there. When you upgrade "past" a version, it's
recommended you read the release notes for the intermediate versions
as well when looking for changes, as those will not be included in the
notes for the newer version.
