External hook "workflow.preExecute" failed when trying to run workflow

Describe the problem/error/question

I cannot run any workflow or activate them. I don’t have any active workflow. I tried logging out and back in / clearing cache but didn’t work

What is the error message (if any)?

Could you share some screenshots of the issues?

I have the same problem!

The issue likely is that your instance might have run out of one of the quotas.
Starting 1.81, this error is more clearly propagated to the frontend.

If you upgrade your instance, you’ll likely see another error, which might help figure out what the problem is.
