All our Workflows throw errors

[Simonnomis]

Describe the problem/error/question

Hey, 2 days ago I launched a new Workflow that contains a Webhook Trigger node. After activating the Workflow I could see in the executions that all incoming events were processed successfully. Some hours later I checked again and could see that all executions failed right from the first trigger node on. In the executions tab I can see only errors. We are using n8n in my company with a shared instance. All our other active Workflows also throw only errors no and nothing is processed anymore. See Screenshots. We are assuming that this might be because the new large amount of incoming events has exceeded quickly our total package of executions. Can this be the reason for it? Right now our account owner is on holiday, and as admins we cannot see our consumption level unfortunately. Have you ever encountered this issue yourself?

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Share the output returned by the last node

Information on your n8n setup

• n8n version:
• Database (default: SQLite):
• n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
• **Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): we are using the n8n cloud product
• Operating system:

This hook is used internally by n8n to enforce limits, not to execute workflow logic.

On cloud there’s a maximum number of active workflows allowed. I think once reached, any new or triggered workflow fails during preExecute.

Please check it and let me know

We have 5 active workflows right now but we have 10 included, this we know. So this cannot be the case that alle workflows run into this error.

As I described the latest workflow that I activated received a huge amount of events, several ones per minute. I could see this in the execution list. It seemed that it were so many that I sometimes also could see that many have been queued before executed and then ran into the error.

I guess we have to wait until our account owner is back from holiday then to check this. I thought maybe we could do something before, but don’t know what. Is there a direct n8n support so they could check that?

So just for completeness here:

The error discribed above is because we exceeded our monthly available exectution limit. All workflows instantly break and don’t process any data anymore.

We have to update our plan to have more/unlimited executions.
