Connection lost message and I can't save

[OrangeAnalyticsAI]

Connection lost on both my free hosted site on render, but I also created a free trial version and had the same error. My I have another user on both sites, for the render version they see the same error. But not on the free trial version.

I rolled back from latest to 1.118.1, 1.117.3, but it had the same problem.

To Reproduce

1. Go to https://n8n-XXXX.onrender.com/workflow/dUwdxkxAU41jdZcd
   or https://xxxxxxxx.app.n8n.cloud/workflow/YoGFyt9UvrSJW4D8

2. Look in top right corner, there is no save icon, just the ‘connection lost’ message.

Expected behaviour

I need it to be connected so I can save my workflows

Thanks for the reply, similar to you I found I had to do 2 things:

1. Had to change to the hosted version,
2. Change to a different browser, edge and comet both work, but only on the hosted version. My self-hosted version doesn’t work on those either.
