We have upgraded the built in postgres to version 17.4.0 that is hosted in Iron Bank. if you are not going by recommended route of using an external database for Gitlab, you will need to manually migrate your data from Postgres 16 to 17 before/during the upgrade. Otherwise, you will run into an error.
