What I’ve Tried:
- Restarted and redeployed the service
- Cleared all queued executions
- No major changes were made to the project before this started happening
Details:
- Project:
optimistic-prosperity - Service: Primary (n8n)
- Environment: Production
- Platform: Railway Free Tier
- Tool: n8n (workflow automation)
Ask:
- Has anyone faced this
-1 concurrencyissue? - Is this a bug or a platform limitation?
- Any way to fix or work around it on the free plan?
Thanks in advance for the help

'-1 Concurrent Executions' means there is no configured upper limit. Which means unlimited concurrent executions for n8n.
I think your jobs are queuing because you are on the free plan and there are limited amount of cpu threads to execute jobs concurrently.

you need to add Redis and at least one worker to enable queue mode and control execution concurrency—or switch to a hosting environment (or plan) that supports these features.
