I just built a system with loop that reschedules upon fail after every 1 minute. I was testing a few things. I left and now when I opened the app again, I have exhausted my execution limits, how do I get my limits back please?

Hi @Haris_Rafiq

You’ve most likely hit your monthly execution quota on n8n Cloud. When that happens:

  • n8n doesn’t charge extra for additional executions.

  • Instead, your active workflows are paused/disabled once you reach 100% of your plan’s executions for the month. They stay paused until the execution counter resets on the 1st of the next month. [Total execution]

There isn’t anything you can do inside the product to “get executions back” for the current billing period beyond:

  1. Wait for the monthly reset (on the 1st).

  2. Or move to a plan with a higher execution allowance, since pricing scales with execution volume. [Execution advantage]

In the meantime, make sure to:

  • Deactivate any workflows that loop or reschedule themselves so they don’t immediately burn through the new quota next month.

  • Add proper guards (max retries, error handling, or longer waits) before you turn them back on.
