Hello Alessandro Vernile

Based on our discussion, there's a known issue with version 17 that prevents in running the cron job. This bug is expected to be resolved in the upcoming deployment.

In the meantime, I kindly request you to create the server using version 16 or earlier.

    Hi!
    We seem to have hit this problem with PostgreSQL v17.5 on an Azure PostgreSQL Flexible DB Server.
    Do we know if this will be fixed in the new 17.6 minor version upgrade?
