Describe the problem/error/question
I am just starting with n8n, and have set up on a server on Render.com. It has 512MB of memory. This seemed to be fine, until I tried a very simple AI node to which I connected ChatGPT. Then I asked a simple query (why is the sky blue), and the server crashed when it hit maximum memory. Seems unlikely that’s supposed to happen.
What is the error message (if any)?
No error message in n8n. Message in Render that the server exceeded memory and n8n starts to give 502 errors.
