Hello Railway Support,
I'm experiencing a critical issue with my n8n deployment that is preventing all workflow executions.
PROBLEM:
• All n8n workflows are stuck in "Queued" / "Starting soon" status
• No workflows execute, even when triggered manually
• Issue started suddenly without any configuration changes on my end
• Affects every single workflow in the instance
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS TAKEN:
1. Removed all Queue Mode environment variables:
- OFFLOAD_MANUAL_EXECUTIONS_TO_WORKERS
- QUEUE_BULL_REDIS_HOST
- QUEUE_BULL_REDIS_PORT
- QUEUE_BULL_REDIS_PASSWORD
- QUEUE_BULL_REDIS_USERNAME
- QUEUE_BULL_REDIS_DUALSTACK
2. Attempted to apply destructive changes via Railway UI
3. Restarted the service multiple times
4. Cleared all queued executions in n8n interface
5. Deactivated and reactivated all workflows
CURRENT BLOCKER:
When attempting to commit the variable deletion changes, Railway shows a "destructive changes" confirmation dialog. However, the text input field seems to have an issue - it either:
• Pre-fills with extra text like "station.railway" after the required phrase
• Doesn't accept the exact confirmation phrase "apply destructive changes"
• The Commit button remains disabled despite typing the correct text
PROJECT DETAILS:
• Service: n8n
• Issue started: November 16, 2025
• No Redis worker service configured (standard single-instance deployment)
• All workflows worked fine before this issue appeared
REQUEST:
Could you please either:
1. Help me bypass the destructive changes confirmation to apply the variable deletions, OR
2. Manually remove the Queue Mode variables from my service, OR
3. Investigate why the confirmation dialog is not working properly
This issue is blocking all automation workflows and requires urgent resolution.
Thank you for your assistance.

Human is here. However, we don't usually help debug N8N on the platform.

Could you upload a screenshot or video of the issue you're experiencing when attempting to apply those destructive changes? I can't seem to replicate it.
