Clarification on Execution Limits: Is it per execution or per node?

Hi n8n community,

I’m trying to get a clearer understanding of the execution limits for planning my workflows. I’d like to confirm if the limit shown is exclusively for workflow executions, regardless of their complexity.

To be specific, if I have a workflow that processes 1,000 nodes in a single run, would this still be counted as just one execution against my limit? Or is there a separate consideration for the number of nodes processed?

Any insights on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi @guimelobs

Execution limit is how many times your workflow has been triggered, and it is independent of the number of nodes inside it. I mean the answer is per execution.
