I guess it's still possible with a replica that no one is using?

So you don't need to touch real production db?

Not sure if it applies for all use cases tou

Yeah I think a read replica might fit the bill - though I suspect active logical replication counts as a connection in this context.

Using a cloud provider read replica might not (as I think that might use block level replication) - but then you're paying for an extra dev database host for the privilege
