Describe the problem/error/question

Worflow is not firing. I have created a workflow using a schedule trigger. It runs fine in testing with execute workflow but when I set it to active it never runs. I have tried changing the trigger timing, stopping and restarting, and even copied it but it never runs

What is the error message (if any)?

No error message

Please share your workflow

Share the output returned by the last node

Cool system! Your schedule trigger triggers every 4 hours, so it’s not going to instantly trigger. It will take a few hours, (4 exactly) to run. If it still isn’t running after that, I would restart your instance.

Its been running a few weeks. I’ve restarted. So I’ll give it the 4 hours and we shall see. Thanks

try reducing 4 hours to 1 min just to test if the node triggers or not

I take it it worked?

Well I thought so but no. It ran once ant then has not run again

That’s very odd. Are you out of monthly executions perhaps?

Have you tried restarting your n8n instance?

No not out of monthly executions. I restarted previously and that fixed it for one run. Then problem came back. I have just discovered that another workflow that was running properly for weeks has stopped. No errors. Just not running.

Sounds like a stuck instance wide bug. I would contact support.

The initial workflow I had issues with I set at 45 minutes instead of 4 hours. It works. I had tried at many variations of hours and none worked. 45 minutes works for this workflow. The other one I set multiple at daily with certain times throughout the day. The first one just fired. So fingers crossed

Hi @Shunshifu ,

Please note if you are using n8n version 2, you HAVE to publish your workflow again after making changes. Simply saving the workflow will not apply the changes for the scheduler
