 * Following your suggestions, transposed from this support forum, I set the retention
   of daily visits to only 2 weeks ( before it was 0 ).
   My “post_views” table, despite
   2 days passing, was and remains 2 GB.Do you have any other suggestions?

 * Hi,
 * If you have this option set to 2 weeks all daily records data that are older 
   than 2 weeks should be wiped out after 24 hours – it is being handled with WP
   Cron job.
 * Did it get reduced eventually? If not, do you see any PVC related error in your
   debug log (if you don’t log errors please check here [https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/wordpress/wp-config/#Configure_Error_Log](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/wordpress/wp-config/#Configure_Error_Log))?
   
   You can also try to run cron job manually like that: [http://example.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron](http://example.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron)
