Wait node isn't working as expected?

Questions

Hello -

I am running N8N self hosted version 1.56.2 and I am having issues with the Wait node. What I am trying to do is have an N8N process that if 10 records come in, wait a random amount of time for each record before passing it to the next step. What appears to be happening is that 10 records come in, it waits 1 set of random time and sends all the records to the next step.

Here is the setup:

Is there anything specific I can check for to resolve this?

Thank you

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 @n8n_rookie

that’s because the Wait node will wait for all items at once. If you want to wait for each item, you should place the Loop node before the wait node.
