Workflows show as running forever, even though they are not.
Has anyone ever faced this issue?
This is what I see when I try to stop them.
Even after restating the docker container and updating n8n it keeps showing these running workflows.
I even have a timeout set for some of those workflows, and still it shows as running for many hours.
Information on your n8n setup
- n8n version: 1:52.2
- Database (default: SQLite): SQLite
- n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): default
- Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): docker
- Operating system: Ubuntu 22.04

Hi @solomon
Can you share what kind of nodes you have in those workflows? See if they have any nodes in common.
What happens when you try to delete the executions?
Didn’t know I could delete them 
I thought I could only stop them.
Problem solved!
Thank you @ria !

@solomon Can you please share a workflow where this happens so we can take a look? These executions should stop without you needing to delete them.
Thanks for the follow up on this one @ivov .
It was happening with all workflows. Every workflow had a running execution.
But after deleting them they didn’t come back.
I think it was a very specific bug. I’ll let you know if it happens again! But I manage 4 n8n instances and had never seen this before.
