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

[Andreas_F]

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

Hey mohamed3nan,

thanks for answering this fast! I am working with n8n in my browser. Is it even possible to update the n8n version there?

Thanks in advance,

Andi
