How can I auto pause a workflow if an API starts returning too many errors?

Questions

I’m running a few workflows that hit external APIS. The APIS goes down and start returning a lot of 429 or 5xx errors and n8n is retrying until the execution fails.

Is there a simple way to stop a workflow when errors happen and then resume it when things are stable again

You must add a wait node in your workflow so your workflow do not encounter Rate Limits

You can just set your workflow to use error trigger node and whenever an error happens just log it somewhere like data store node or google sheet
