Schedule Trigger executes manually but fails to trigger automatically in n8n Cloud

Schedule Trigger works perfectly in manual execution but never triggers automatically in n8n Cloud - workflow stays active but no executions appear in history. What am I missing?
I’m using RSS Feed Trigger but that’s not triggering automatically. Here’s my workflow JSON file.

Information on your n8n setup

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

Hello there,

So this happen sometimes, am not exactly sure why, but this is how I would handle it, I would a schedule trigger instead, see below example.

Hope this helps,

Samuel

Hey David, thanks for replying, but that method is also not working. When a node is triggered by the schedule, the execution status is stuck in “Queued” and “Starting soon” . I noticed this issue from the previous two weeks, whereas before I was just using the manual testing.

Can you please help me out?

Ah okay, and you’re on the cloud, are you hitting execution limits? it could be a number of issues atm, do you have access to log?

Nope, I don’t have access to the log because I’m on the starter plan.
I can’t set up the log streaming to debug what’s wrong because that requires the enterprise plan (subscription).

That’s a pain, have you tried to restart the cluster in portal. Might be worth trying, the RSS feed schedule trigger didn’t work for me, but the schedule trigger did am running version 1.89.2 btw

Switched to schedule trigger, but still, the trigger isn’t working. I don’t understand why it’s still not working in my account.

@Abid_Khan Did you try restart the instance? Sometimes when developing workflow, they can get stuck, which a restart helps clear it, and I would think the triggers may start to work if a restart is done.

Also have you upgraded to latest version?

Best regards,

Samuel
