Can you post it with the limit? I realize the query takes a long time,
but that is the more important query to look at.
Also, just as a test, if you can, try dropping most of the indexes
except for the important one. It might be that the planner is having a
hard time because there are too many permutations to try.
I believe if you drop the indexes inside a transaction, they will still
be there for other queries, and if you rollback instead of commit, you
won't lose anything.
BEGIN;
DROP INDEX ...
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT *...
ROLLBACK;
