Getting a lot of 'n8n may have run out of memory' errors with recent updates

Been getting a ton of ‘out of memory’ errors lately with the recent updates.
The n8n instance stops working and resets…

This is one of the workflows for example
it gets 100 executions, sends them to an airtable sub workflow to be added to Airtable

Once done, it waits 20seconds, then calls the next cursor vis Webhook

[initially I was using the built in n8n API node, also gets out of memory errors]

Details:

Hosted in a droplet 1 GB Memory / 1 AMD vCPU / 25 GB Disk

Getting the same memory problem in this drolpet 2 GB Memory / 1 AMD vCPU / 50 GB Disk


{ "errorMessage": "Execution stopped at this node", "errorDescription": "n8n may have run out of memory while running this execution. More context and tips on how to avoid this <a href='https://docs.n8n.io/hosting/scaling/memory-errors/' target='_blank'>in the docs</a>", "errorDetails": {}, "n8nDetails": { "time": "2/8/2025, 1:26:55 AM", "n8nVersion": "1.77.3 (Self Hosted)", "binaryDataMode": "default", "cause": { "level": "error", "tags": {} } } }
