Code execution doesn't work

Questions
1

Hi — code execution seems broken on my n8n workspace.

Even a brand-new workflow with only:

  • Manual Trigger

  • Code node

and this code:

return [{ json: { test: ‘ok’ } }];

times out after 60 seconds.

This happens across unrelated workflows, so it is not specific to one workflow or one code block. Logging out and back in did not help.

What do I do?

Could you specify if you’re self hosting or using a vps or cloud

This is a known bug with the task runner in recent versions, restarting your n8n instance usually fixes it. If you’re on cloud you’ll need to reach out to n8n support since you can’t restart it yourself.

I’m using n8n Cloud, not self-hosted. The issue happens across unrelated workflows, and even a trivial Code node times out after 60 seconds.

Thanks, have just sent an e-mail to the n8n support asking for a restart of the instance.
