Describe the problem/error/question
I have a few workflows that get called by a webhook and then wait for “X” amount of time to do things. They are all working fine, except my 24 hour wait workflow.
Initially, I set it up to wait “24 hours” but the executions just disappeared and never completed, so I switched it to “1 day” because I remember some conversation a while back about hours vs days when using wait for longer time persions.
Anyway, same result - the execution just disappears once it’s supposed to finish waiting and execute. It doesn’t complete the task it’s supposed to do after waiting (query an API and update a database).
The workflow is set to save successful production executions, manual executions, and to save execution progress.
I DO have “Timeout Workflow” toggled “on” and it’s set to “2 minutes” (my default). Is this the cause? My assumption was that the timeout only applied to the workflow actively doing things, not waiting. I tried to change it to 25 hours to test if that is the issue, but it returned the error, “The timeout is longer than allowed: Maximum Timeout is: 1 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds”
What is the error message (if any)?
None, the execution just disappears.
While the executions are “waiting” I can see them in “Executions” but once the 24 hours time is up, they are not there anymore. Filtering by Any Status, Failed, Canceled, Running, Success or Waiting" does not show any past executions.
