Describe the problem/error/question

When I try to execute my workflow manually, I get this error at the very fisrt code node. No other workflow is running parallely. Everything was fine till yesterday, from today I am getting this error.

What is the error message (if any)?

Task request timed out after 60 seconds Your Code node task was not matched to a runner within the timeout period. This indicates that the task runner is currently down, or not ready, or at capacity, so it cannot service your task.

If you are repeatedly executing Code nodes with long-running tasks across your instance, please space them apart to give the runner time to catch up. If this does not describe your use case, please open a GitHub issue or reach out to support.

Please share your workflow/screenshots/recording

extent analysis

TL;DR

The most likely fix is to adjust the workflow to space out long-running tasks or increase the task timeout period to prevent timeouts.

Guidance

  • Check the workflow for long-running tasks in Code nodes and consider spacing them out to prevent overloading the task runner.
  • Verify if the task runner is down, not ready, or at capacity by checking the n8n instance's resource utilization and adjusting the concurrency setting if necessary.
  • Consider increasing the task timeout period to give the task runner more time to service tasks, but be cautious of potential performance impacts.
  • Review the pruning settings to ensure they are not causing tasks to be removed too quickly, potentially leading to timeouts.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not require a specific code change, but rather a workflow adjustment.

Notes

The provided information suggests that the issue started recently, and the workflow was previously working fine. This implies that the problem might be related to a change in the workflow or the environment. However, without more information about the specific tasks and their execution times, it's difficult to provide a more targeted solution.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by spacing out long-running tasks in the workflow, as this is a non-invasive change that can help mitigate the issue without requiring significant modifications to the n8n configuration or code.
