Do you have any locks in this table/database that prevent the vacuum to
be started?

Why do you use VACUUM FULL everyday? This will lock your database until
it finish. I can count with one hand the times we had to run vacuum full
in our systems in the last 6 years.

Use a normal vacuum analyze if 'autovacuum' is not enough for you.
