Five thousand jobs with a retry backlog

5,000 jobs, six billable actions, 20% reruns and 1,000 assumed polling credits.

Inputs and usage

A monthly allowance does not establish sufficient throughput. Hourly API limits and concurrency can create a backlog. Check capacity separately and prevent duplicate writes before replaying jobs.

5000 jobs plus 20% reruns gives 6000 executions. With 6 billable actions and 1000 polling credits, the assumed total is 37,000 credits.

Adjust before subscribing

Make credits and n8n Cloud workflow executions are different units. Polling credits are added only to Make. n8n assumes one job per execution; scheduled checks and callbacks that start separate workflows must be counted as additional executions. A free plan’s exceeded allowance and unverified additional charges are not treated as zero-cost usage.
