Describe the problem/error/question

I am running a work flow that run every 5 minutes. My issue is when I see running process on …/executions N8N shows many process that it appear are running, some times process that has 2 week running and that is not true. My process never take more than 5 minutes running and always finish… but N8N show that are running and I have to cancel manually…

What is the error message (if any)?

N8N shows running process that are not running…

Oh, that is a bug, for sure.
Try this:

1. Restart your n8n instance. See if those executions disappear
2. If not, try stopping them manually. See if they stop or keep running.
3. Update your n8n version to 1.80.5 or newer. The bug could have already been fixed in newer versions.

If my reply answers your question, please remember to mark it as a solution.

thanks for your help. Retart is not an option. I always stop old running proccess manually…I just wanted to know if some one else had that issue too… I am afraid upgrade n8n because almos alwais introduce too many bugs and work flows that work properly suddenly stop becasuse of errors and I have to downgrade n8n images… Right now i am on 1.83 and it forcing me to use first() instead of item. In previous versions it was just a warnings but now it stop process and send error telling me that i have to use first()… I does not any sense to me but any ways is what it is.

I really appreciate your time and tips …
