Wrong calculation of items

Questions

Hello !

Describe the problem/error/question

When I try to run my workflow, there is a strange behaviour. Even though I only have one item, the nodes run 11 times (it could be a different number for other workflows).
This is corrected on the UI very fast but yet, the nodes are running a lot of times which is not great at all for performences (See console where HTTP requests are made).

Please share your workflow

@Henri_Chabert , do you use “Retry On Fail” option in your HTTP Request node? From your video I can see that the request failed and it was retried many times.

Hello @ihortom,
Sorry for the late answer.

I don’t use such feature. The fact that it was retried is indeed strange and that I guess it comes from the wrong calculation of items inside the flow.
