'Wait' node set to 'Resume at Specified Time'. What happens on n8n instance restart?

Questions

I’m just curious what happens to the existing running workflows if the instance is restarted, yet there are still nodes waiting.

  1. What happens to workflows where the wait date is still in the future after the instance has fully rebooted and is functional?
  2. What happens if the wait timestamp takes place during n8n downtime, and then the instance goes back online?
  • n8n version: v1.80.5
  • Database (default: SQLite): Default
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): Default
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): npm
  • Operating system: Amazon ec2 Linux

I believe if the wait was registered it should store in its db and maintain. Depends how you set it up.
