Issue with Activating Workflow in n8n - 403 Forbidden Error

Questions
1

Dear n8n Support Team,

I’m encountering an issue with activating a specific workflow in my n8n instance.

The workflow functions perfectly when manually triggered, and all steps work as expected, including the interaction with Airtable.

However, when I attempt to activate it for automatic execution, I receive a 403 Forbidden error.

I would like to use three workflows simultaneously and have all of them active at once.

I am aware that the free plan in n8n limits the number of active workflows.

But even when I deactivate one of the workflows to ensure I have only two active, I still cannot activate the one in question.

The issue persists regardless of which workflow I deactivate.

Could you please help me understand why I am unable to activate this workflow, even when I’m below the active workflow limit?

Is there any setting or configuration that I may have missed?

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,
Kamil

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hey @Kamil_Kaczmarek , if your workflow has more than one trigger node (excluding manual) their total number counts towards an active workflow. That is, if you have 5 workflows limit and each has 2 trigger nodes then it counts as 10 workflows.
