The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/runtime-config-replication.html
Description:

Dear sir or madam!

The documentation about the parameter wal_sender_timeout refers to an
integer value in milliseconds in the first sentence. Reading up to the
default value in the paragraph, it is set to 60 seconds. The same difference
of milliseconds and seconds is included in postgresql.conf:

#wal_sender_timeout = 60s # in milliseconds; 0 disables

This difference is found in the documentation and postgresql.conf for
parameter wal_receiver_timeout, too.

#wal_receiver_timeout = 60s # time that receiver waits for
# communication from master
# in milliseconds; 0 disables

Please check and verify. - Thank you!

With best regards,
Dirk Aumueller
