Do Wait nodes create new executions or resume the same execution?

Does each Wait node resumption count as a new execution, or does the entire workflow (including all Wait cycles) count as a single execution?
For example:
100 users trigger the webhook
Each user’s workflow loops through 20 Wait cycles before completing
Does this count as:
100 executions (one per webhook), or
2,000 executions (100 users × 20 Wait cycles)?
I’m trying to understand how this impacts execution limits on n8n Cloud pricing tiers.

when a flow is triggered that is one execution.
if it completes or not that will be count as an execution.

no matter how much or many wait are in there, or how much complex is the flow.

As wait does not trigger another flow it continues the same So it is one.

But If each Wait node truly continues the same execution without creating a new one, I should see only 3 executions total in my dashboard. Instead, I’m seeing 1140 prod. executions for just 3 webhook triggers

same execution

Then there must other executions.
3 triggered webhooks can not make 1140 executions
