AW: Reducing bandwidth usage of database replication

It is, unfortunately, too much for our requirements.
I was able to increase wal_receiver_status_interval so that the publisher only contacts the subscriber every 30 seconds instead of every 10.
But I am not able to increase it further.

Hi all,

I want to use the postgres-native logical replication to have multiple clients receive and send data to a central database.
Real-time is far less important than network usage, and with my current test setup it appears both instances communicate frequently if a subscription is active, even if nothing is happening.

Is there a good way to reduce data usage, for example by limiting the amount of keep-alive messages? One database will likely be idle most of the time.

I estimated the current solution to idle at around 1.4MiB per day. Ideally it would use less than 100KiB a day.

1.4MiB/day is 17 bytes per second. That's not too much.
