How to see how many executions I've used towards my quota?

Describe the problem/error/question

We’re new N8N users and we’re looking for a way to see how much of our quota is used (e.g., “100/5000 monthly executions used”). It’s critical for us that we monitor our quota so that we are staying within our monthly budget. Does anybody know how to do this?

I’ve found this post that claims to mention a /limits undocumented API, but I’ve not been able to get a call to it to work. We are on the Pro tier in N8N Cloud.

Furthermore, I’ve tried to look everywhere in the instance admin section, and the insights tab, and N8N’s documentation for anywhere this shows up in the UI, and I can’t find it. Surely simple billing quota monitoring exists and I’m just not finding it.

Does anybody have recommendations?

Hi @Mike_Holler Welcome to the community!
You can see that in Cloud Admin Dashboard log in there, open the Admin Dashboard, and your plan, monthly limit and executions used bar are shown there.

See here:

Yeah unfortunately there’s no clean “X/5000 used” meter anywhere in the Cloud UI right now, it’s a pretty common complaint. The Insights tab shows execution counts but doesn’t compare against your plan limit which is kind of useless for budgeting. Your best bet is honestly building a workflow that hits /api/v1/executions and counts the current month’s runs yourself, annoying but it works.

Oh wow, incredibly fast response. Unfortunate that this isn’t available to non-Owner users. Feels like available executions should be more visible than that. Nevertheless, I’m glad there’s a way.

Is there a feature request I can upvote to add it in a more wide and transparent place in the UI / API?

Yeah I came across this too, but it from what I saw execution retention itself is limited, so this would only be so helpful. Thanks for the idea!

@Mike_Holler understood, then the results will be limited to the workflows you have access to, ofc for single workflow you can just see the executions list. Consider going to overview in the left side bar, now open the executions tab this would list all those flows and executions. Also this is highly limited by the workspace owner i mean Admin.

But this might be a feature or maybe not. (you can create a feature request but on an enterprise level perspective this sounds like a feature to me)
