Timeout Error in HTTP request node

[psampath-ctrl]

Describe the problem/error/question.

I'm using a http request node that gets the result of a query that was written in Redash. The query is running fine in redash but when I'm using the same query in the HTTP node it is running for a while and returning me a timeout error. Even though if I set the timeout option to 5 mins and max tries to 5, the same error is popping up.

What is the error message (if any)?

Problem in 'HTTP Request1'
The connection was aborted, perhaps the server is offline

Please share your workflow/screenshots/recording

Hey @psampath-ctrl,

Thank you for reaching out! We’ve received your issue and are looking into it. To help us track this internally, we’ve created a Linear ticket with the reference: "GHC-4283".

We’ll keep you updated as we make progress, but if you have any additional details or context to share, feel free to add them here - it’s always helpful!

Thanks for your patience and for bringing this to our attention.

[psampath-ctrl]

Actually the workflow that I've pasted isn't completed yet, as the http request node should give the input for the future nodes in order to complete / build the proper working wrkflow but in this case the HTTP request node is not working due to timeout error.

@team can you please assign this issue to me?

[Joffcom]

Thank you for reaching out! It looks like this issue might be more of a support request rather than a bug report. For general support, troubleshooting, or questions, we recommend raising your request on our community support forum.

The forum is a great place to connect with both our team and other community members who can help out. You might even find answers to similar questions there!

For issues related to n8n cloud billing or instances going offline please email help@n8n.io as we are not able to access your cloud account or workflows from these issues.

I have also removed the api key you had originally shared just incase it is active, you may need to change / rotate the key if it was still being used.

We’ll go ahead and close this issue to keep the tracker focused on bug reports. Feel free to join the conversation on the forum, and let us know if you have any further concerns or questions.

Thanks again for being part of the n8n community!
