Describe the problem/error/question

We are seeing workflows be automatically deactivated by n8n without much information. This has happened on at least 3 workflows:

All of the three workflows above are in our Applied AI project.

What is the error message (if any)?

"Workflow automatically deactivated

n8n has automatically deactivated "AssemblyAI Transcription" due to repeated crashes. Please review its recent executions and resolve any issues before reactivating it."

What we are seeing in the errors leading up to the deactivation is "n8n may have run out of memory while running this execution." but we don't have visibility into our compute usage in order to troubleshoot where the memory issue is coming from.

Please share your workflow/screenshots/recording

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)
⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ If you have sensitive data in your workflow (like API keys), please remove it before sharing.
