N8n crashing

Hi, all. I am running n8n in docker on my 923+ (base model). I am running into an issue with n8n with “large” files uploaded through the n8n form node. I am trying to determine if this is a Synology issue (and I should upgrade), or if it is an n8n issue. My understanding is that n8n can handle files up to 2GB. A search on ChatGPT says that the Form node can handle up to 200 MB. When I upload a file through the Form node that is 90 MB, it does take about 10 seconds for the form to return that it has been submitted (I am guessing because the file is being uploaded). n8n will crash with any file remotely this large. Memory is peaking at 80% of usage on the NAS. Are the file sizes that n8n can handle not really as large as claimed? Is this a Synology memory issue? Any general insight?

could be a lack of hardware resource.

docker logs --since=1h <container_id>

log could say more info.
You tested with different filesize?

you use
N8N_PAYLOAD_SIZE_MAX
or N8N_DEFAULT_BINARY_DATA_MODE?

Thanks! Sorry I am just seeing this. I didn’t get the notification about your response. I have some additional RAM being delivered tomorrow. I think that may be the issue.
