1) turn off server side prepared statements with prepareThreshold=0
with this threshold=0, if it's still possible to avoid parsing, planning from Postgresql server side, like set plan_cache_mode=force_generic_plan or with default "auto" mode. Postgresql server can make the plan cached and reused.
2) change varchar(n) to varchar or text, then restart application, so avoid future similar increase varchar(n) changes.
it's safe to performance or optimizer ,right?
Thanks,
James

An alternative option is to take downtime for DDL and restart the application.
Or to chppse the appropriate data type right away: in your case, that would
have been "text".
