The n8n node does not return the executions in the waiting state

Hi!

I am using the n8n node with the Get Many operation with a filter for the Status = Waiting and I think it does not return the executions correctly.

This is the WF:

I’ve found this thread and read the Wait node documentation and for wait times less than 65 seconds, n8n does not save data to the database (I don’t know if this could be the reason). Therefore, for testing purposes, I have created another workflow that launches a 5 minute Wait.

Here is the test wf:

The issue is that although I can see wf executions in waiting state in the executions tab, n8n node (I have also tested with an HTTP request to the API with same results) does not return those executions.

Can anyone tell me if the n8n node has a bug?

Thank you in advance!

My n8n setup

  • n8nVersion: 1.79.3
  • platform: docker (self-hosted)
  • nodeJsVersion: 20.18.2
  • database: sqlite
  • executionMode: regular

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

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

hello @VidSanchez

yes, seems the get many doesn’t retrieve waiting executions at all :thinking:
