is there any timeout setting in the workflow? like the workflow will timeout if it was not finished in 1h cause workflow exit with timeout error
Hi! Annis Yes, n8n workflows don’t have a built-in global timeout setting by default.
If a workflow runs too long and hits some platform or resource limits (like memory or execution time on hosted plans), it might get terminated with a timeout error.
If you want to control this yourself, you can build custom logic in your workflow to handle long-running tasks, or split workflows into smaller chunks.
Also, if you’re self-hosting, you might be able to set timeout limits in your server or container configuration (Docker, reverse proxy) that affect workflow execution time.
So basically, n8n itself doesn’t enforce a strict workflow timeout of 1 hour, but the environment running the workflow might cause that timeout. Hope this clarifies!
Thanks for your reply.
