Now, I am able to reproduce this issue:
Create table t1(c1 int);
select pg_create_logical_replication_slot('s', 'test_decoding');
Begin;
insert into t1 values(1);
savepoint s1;
insert into t1 select generate_series(1, 100000);
commit;

postgres=# select count(*) from pg_logical_slot_peek_changes('s1', NULL, NULL);
 count
--------
 100005
(1 row)

postgres=# select * from pg_stat_replication_slots;
 slot_name | spill_txns | spill_count | spill_bytes | stream_txns |
stream_count | stream_bytes | total_txns | total_bytes |
stats_reset
-----------+------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+--------------+--------------+------------+-------------+----------------------------------
 s1        |          0 |           0 |           0 |           0 |
        0 |            0 |          2 |    13200672 | 2021-04-29
14:33:55.156566+05:30
(1 row)

select * from pg_stat_reset_replication_slot('s1');

Now reduce the logical decoding work mem to allow spilling.
postgres=# set logical_decoding_work_mem='64kB';
SET
postgres=# select count(*) from pg_logical_slot_peek_changes('s1', NULL, NULL);
 count
--------
 100005
(1 row)

postgres=# select * from pg_stat_replication_slots;
 slot_name | spill_txns | spill_count | spill_bytes | stream_txns |
stream_count | stream_bytes | total_txns | total_bytes |
stats_reset
-----------+------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+--------------+--------------+------------+-------------+----------------------------------
 s1        |          1 |         202 |    13200000 |           0 |
        0 |            0 |          2 |         672 | 2021-04-29

You can notice that after we have allowed spilling the 'total_bytes'
stats is showing a different value. The attached patch fixes the issue
for me. Let me know what do you think about this?

Commits

  1. Doc: Update logical decoding stats information.

  2. Fix tests for replication slots stats.

  3. Update replication statistics after every stream/spill.

  4. Fix the computation of slot stats for 'total_bytes'.

  5. Another try to fix the test case added by commit f5fc2f5b23.

  6. Use HTAB for replication slot statistics.

  7. Fix test case added by commit f5fc2f5b23.

  8. Add information of total data processed to replication slot stats.

  9. Use NameData datatype for slotname in stats.
