Hi, I’ve been getting “Task request timed out after 60 seconds” errors on Code nodes for over a week. Instance: aiplug.app.n8n.cloud Plan: Paid Running via: n8n Cloud The error says the task runner is “down, not ready, or at capacity.” The n8n AI confirmed this is NOT a code issue - it’s infra…

Hi @Flores_Shop_LLC What is your n8n version? Maybe updating to the latest version might fix the issue..

I’m currently on n8n version 1.121.3 (Cloud) Also, I’ve noticed that some of my other nodes sometimes take a very long time to run or randomly break, which never happened before. The only consistent issue is with Code nodes, but overall the performance hasn’t been normal compared to before.

I had the exact same issue and the same n8n version, which is what made me update it to see if that’s what’s causing the problem. Now on version 1.122.5 (Cloud) it’s working again. That might just fix it for you as well.

This is quite annoying. My workflows keep failing randomly with an error [image] I know I can configure the node to retry on fail, but this is not a sustainable, nor a long-term solution. Do you know who can I contact from the n8n team to investigate this issue and provide a reliable solution?

any ideas to solution having the same problem :frowning:

I have the same issue since updating to 2.0.2 at a self-hosted instance. I thought it relates to the newly activated task runners but if there are other with same problems and 1.x versions it must be a different problem

+1 Same issue here. 2 workflows were running flawlessly yesterday. I upgraded to 2.14. from 1.x.x. Now both don’t work.

+1 same issue here since I updated n8n to 2.14

+1 Same for me. Interestingly, manual starts of the workflows run without issues, it is just when the workflow is run normally (Webhook, Timer)
