Hi,
I am having troubles with my Ai Agents in the recent days. Lots of them get this error:
“Execution stopped at this node
n8n may have run out of memory while running this execution. More context and tips on how to avoid this in the docs”
I saw the docs and it says that i can do 2 things, increase the memory, by upgrading the plan or decrease the flow memory.
But none of these work for me. I have the Starter pack and i am using around 400 to 500 executions monthly. Doesn’t make any sense to go for 10k.
Also my flow worked always, i had hounders of working executions till now and never had these issues, just the recent days lots of my executions get stopped because of this.
the agent has a simple prompt that adds a youtube channel in my db if it doesn’t exists, I can’t understand why it stops. It also stops to other workflows that in the past were working great.
I wanted to use the cloud as it’s easier to manage, i am happy to pay for the n8n could subscription if i don’t stress about servers and unavailability of the servers. But in the recent days the n8n cloud seems unstable.
Can you please help me out to figure this out?
