please, i would like to see the contents of postgresql.base.conf',
maybe is changing a parameter that is not touched in postgresql.conf,
and postgresql.auto.conf for the same reason

also, show us the output of: select * from pg_replication_slots
if there's any replication slot not connected to the server is
protecting, primary will keep the wals until the server comes back

finally, while this seems not to be your case, a high
wal_keep_segments can cause this problem too
