Automatic Retry of Workflows

Hey @Jon , any progress on getting exponential backoff support baked into n8n? It’s a big quality-of-life issue, because our workflows are becoming overly complicated because this feature doesn’t natively exist in the platform.

Thanks!

Hey @Darien_Kindlund,

Nothing yet, Once we start on this a member of the product team will likely comment on here to also find out what the community are after.

In the meantime could we at least get a higher maximum wait time ? 5 seconds is clearly not enough

Increasing the maximum wait time would be a great workaround which could be implemented very quickly. Never understood this low limit.

Any news about this topic?

I also miss a progressive time scale for repeating the process

so this was never addresed?

No updates?

Sometimes I run into limitations with API Rate limits, and it’s going to happen more. Exponential delays work well in these cases, this needs to be addressed.

I am facing a similar issue with ratelimits being hit on ai endpoints. Is there a solution for this?

Evaluating a more dev friendly tool now to unblock myself, any pointers on how you got around this?

I love that it can ‘Retry on Fail’, however the maximum wait period is never enough to prevent overloading the API call :frowning:
