Code/Function node won’t finish or cancel (n8n Cloud)

Questions

Even a minimal Code/Function node does not finish. The spinner keeps running, and the node cannot be canceled from within the node; only stopping the entire workflow works. Under Executions, Active often shows no new entry.
Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a new empty workflow.

  2. Add a Code node with:

    return [{ json: { ok: true, ts: new Date().toISOString() } }];

  3. Click Execute node → the spinner runs indefinitely.
    Expected behavior:
    Node completes within < 1 second and appears under Past executions.
    Actual behavior:
    Node remains “running” indefinitely; cancel button inside the node doesn’t work. Only stopping the workflow ends it.
    What I’ve tried:

  • Different browser / incognito / no extensions
  • Hard reload
  • Checked Executions → Active (no or stuck entries)
  • Tested Set/IF nodes (same behavior)
  • This is n8n Cloud (not self-hosted)
    does anyone know this problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Andi

Describe the problem/error/question

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

no output since the codeblocks dont stop

Thanks in advance,
