Google Sheet Trigger gets kicked when Docker restarts on Self-Hosted n8n

Describe the problem/error/question

I have set the Google Sheet Trigger to poll at a specific time, but when I stop and start Docker, this Trigger starts automatically. Is this the expected behavior?

What is the error message (if any)?

No Error.

Please share your workflow

The Google Sheet Trigger is set up to poll a specific sheet at a specific time.
The Trigger settings are as follows:


Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version:
    1.26

  • Database (default: SQLite):
    SQLite

  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
    main

  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
    Docker

  • Operating system:
    Mac OS(client)

When n8n restarts, all active workflows are loaded, and if any of them are setup for polling (like Google Sheet Trigger node is), we setup a Cron to schedule the polling.
Since you are seeing this happen on every restart, this sounds like a bug to me.
However, we did a overhaul of the scheduling mechanism recently, and would highly recommend updating n8n to see if this issue is maybe already resolved.

Thanks for your reply.
The upgrade will take some time, but I’ll try to upgrade and then check if it works.
