Version 2.38.3
Released on September 3, 2026, this patch addresses a core reliability issue in n8n. Previously, when a workflow run was rejected, the running job associated with that run could fail to be cleaned up properly. This could leave orphaned processes or consume resources unnecessarily, particularly in self-hosted environments where long-running workflows are common.
The fix ensures that any running job is now reliably cleaned up whenever a workflow run is rejected. For self-hosted users, this means better resource management and fewer instances of stuck background tasks, contributing to a more stable automation platform overall.
