Cannot stop a workflow

Hey team, when I test a workflow usually I can hit the stop button and it stops. Now when I try to stop it will not stop. It was working great yesterday on the same workflow not now.

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hi @Brad_Fraser

Thanks for posting here and welcome to the community! :cake:

Which version of n8n are you using?
After you click “stop” can you refresh the page and see if the workflow is still running? This might just be a UI bug.
You can also check your execution log if you see the execution that you tried to stop there.

Thanks for letting us know your findings!

Hi ria,
i’m facing the same problem every now and then, last time i have to deploy the whole new instance with new db to fix the issue,
is there any fix for this error,

  • **n8n version: 1.59.3
  • **Database :postgress
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via helm with k8s:
  • **Operating system:linux

Hi @Manu_Jain

Since you’re still on a quite old version of n8n I would suggest to update and see it the issue persist, as we had released a few improvements recently that could have an effect on this.

Make sure to check out our release notes as well:
