Hi,

The pg_replication_slots documentation mentions only max_slot_wal_keep_size
as a condition under which the wal_status column can show unreserved or lost.
However, since commit ac0e33136ab, idle_replication_slot_timeout can also
cause this behavior when it is set. This has not been documented yet.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/view-pg-replication-slots.html

So, how about updating the documentation to also mention
idle_replication_slot_timeout as a factor that can cause wal_status to
become unreserved or lost? Patch attached.

Regards,
