The change is abrupt, on the 10th execution (but I hadn't spotted it was always after the same number of executions until your suggestion - thanks for pointing me in that direction).
I don't see any custom configuration on our end that changes the threshold for this from 5->10. Debugging the query call I also see that PgConnection has the prepareThreshold set to 5.
Additionally, the execution plans for the 10th + following queries look fine, they have the same structure as if I run the query manually. It's not that the query plan switches, it seems as though the same query plan is just > 200X slower than usual.
As for the heap fetches -> as far as I can tell, on both occasions the fetches are relatively low and shouldn't account for minutes of execution (even if one is lower than the other). Looking through one days logs I do find cases with lower heap fetches too, for example as below which has 1977 fetches instead of the previous 6940 but took approx the same time:
-> Index Only Scan using table1_typea_include_uniqueid_col16_idx on table1 table1alias1 (cost=0.56..17.25 rows=1 width=60) (actual time=56.858..120893.874 rows=67000 loops=1)
Index Cond: (col20 = $2005)
Filter: (((col3 = $2004) OR (col3 IS NULL)) AND ((col8)::text = ANY ((ARRAY[$1004, ..., $2003])::text[])))
Rows Removed by Filter: 2662793
Heap Fetches: 1977
Buffers: shared hit=84574 read=3522
Would you agree the statement threshold / heap fetches seems unlikely to be causing this? Any other thoughts?
Thanks!

Does it "switch" abruptly or do you get progressively slower queries ?
If it's abrupt following the 5th execution, I guess you're hitting this:

It looks to me like you're getting good performance following a vacuum, when
Heap Fetches is low. So you'd want to run vacuum more often, like:
| ALTER TABLE table1 SET (autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor=0.005).
But maybe I've missed something - you showed the bad query plan, but not the
good one, and I wonder if they may be subtly different, and that's maybe masked
by the replaced identifiers.
