Intermittent Code Node Task Runner Timeout in n8n Cloud

[rafaelcastillo-XMS]

Describe the problem/error/question

Hello n8n Support team,

I'm experiencing a recurring issue in n8n Cloud that started only recently (within the past week), and it's affecting workflows that were previously running without any problems.

The error I'm getting is:

"Task request timed out after 60 seconds — Code node task was not matched to a runner"

Key points:

I'm using n8n Cloud (version 2.13.3)
These workflows were working fine before — no major changes on my side
The issue is intermittent, but increasingly frequent
It happens even on relatively simple Code nodes
Retrying sometimes works, which suggests a capacity or runner availability issue

Given that I'm using the Cloud version specifically to avoid infrastructure management, this behavior is quite concerning. It seems like the task runner service might be at capacity or not reliably assigning tasks.

Could you please:

Confirm if there are any known incidents or capacity issues with task runners
Check if my workspace is being rate-limited or affected by concurrency constraints
Advise on any limits or best practices specific to my plan that could be triggering this
Let me know if there is any mitigation or configuration I should apply

I'm happy to provide workflow IDs, execution IDs, or timestamps if needed.

Thanks in advance for your help — looking forward to resolving this as it's impacting production workflows.

Best regards,

What is the error message (if any)?

Hi, I am experiencing intermittent failures in n8n Cloud affecting Code nodes with the following error: "Task request timed out after 60 seconds – not matched to a runner" This started recently without any changes on my side. These workflows were working correctly before and now fail intermittently. Important details: - This only affects Code nodes - Retry sometimes works - I do not have high concurrency - This impacts production workflows Example executions: - Execution ID: 4078 - Execution ID: 4077 - Timestamp: March 31, ~08:10–08:23 UTC - Workflow: TEUmoHtfMgVhXIiP Given that this is n8n Cloud (managed infrastructure), I believe this may be related to task runner capacity or availability. Please: 1. Confirm if there is any ongoing issue with task runners 2. Check if my instance is affected 3. Advise on mitigation or resolution timeline This is impacting production, so I would appreciate investigation by a human engineer. Thanks El mar, 31 mar 2026 a la(s) 11:19 a.m., krisn0x ***@***.***) escribió:
