If you set up synchronous replication but there is no standby server,
all the write transactions are blocked infinitely whether replication_timeout
is enabled or not. If you want to cause those transactions to end, you need
to disable synchronous replication by, for example, emptying
synchronous_standby_names or need to set up new standby.
