I am filling out a questionaire form that has mutliple questions, and because it takes a little time to answer the questions properly the test flow says error due to it timing out from testing. Is there any way to extend the time or any suggestions?
Hi, I’m guessing you are using the cloud version of n8n. Which has different time limits on workflows depending on your plan. It’s 5 minutes for starter and 40 mins for pro.
Thank you, is there a way to not be on the cloud version?
Yes, you can self host it. Which can be pretty cheap. You can for example rent a small machine at Digital Ocean ore Hetzner for less than 5 dollars a month. You can then connect a domain which can be bought as cheaply as 1 dollar for a year.
The setup afterwards take at most 15 minutes.
There is also one click installations with services like railway. But I would honestly recommend doing it yourself.
For a quick quick solution you could just run a local version for the sake of testing your workflow, and then copy the completed one back into your cloud instance and continue from there.
With nodejs installed, you can run the below in a terminal:
npx n8n
This will start a local instance running on your machine.
