I think it ( *score = *score = Max(*score, (double) instuples /
Max(vacinsthresh, 1));) I believe this must be a slip of the hand on your
part, having copied an extra one.
I also suggest add debug log for score
ereport(DEBUG2,
(errmsg("autovacuum candidate: %s (score=%.3f)",
get_rel_name(table->oid), table->score)));

Typically, DBAs avoid setting autovacuum_freeze_max_age too close to
vacuum_failsafe_age. Therefore, your logic most likely uses the
vacuum_failsafe_age value.
Would taking the average of the two be a better approach?
#
root@localhost:/data/pgsql/pg18data# grep vacuum_failsafe_age
postgresql.conf
#vacuum_failsafe_age = 1600000000
root@localhost:/data/pgsql/pg18data# grep autovacuum_freeze_max_age
postgresql.conf
#autovacuum_freeze_max_age = 200000000 # maximum XID age before forced
vacuum
Thanks
