Maximum workflow execution timeout on n8n Cloud Trial, Starter and Pro

Questions
1

Hello,

I am currently using the 14-day n8n Cloud trial and evaluating whether the Starter plan is enough for my use case.

I need to run editorial automation workflows with several sequential API and LLM calls. Some executions may take more than 5 minutes.

Could you please confirm the maximum configurable workflow execution timeout for:

  1. n8n Cloud Trial
  2. Starter plan
  3. Pro plan

I am asking about the total background workflow execution timeout, configured in:

Settings > Timeout Workflow > Timeout After

This is not about the HTTP response timeout of a webhook.

Also, can this timeout be increased on Starter or Pro, or is a higher limit only available on Enterprise?

Thank you.

Hi @projetosaberebemesta
Same question as your other thread, answered there.
See this:

The per-plan ceiling is not published as a number, the docs only state that a maximum exists for each plan, so the exact value for Trial, Starter and Pro has to come from help@n8n.io in writing. It only matters if you switch the setting on: Timeout Workflow is off by default, and with it off nothing cancels the run on time, which is why a chain of sequential API and LLM calls past five minutes still finishes on Trial and Starter.
