Hidden billing gotchas

n8n bills per production workflow execution: one full run counts once, however many steps it has. Manual test runs, error workflows and sub-workflow calls don't count.
Cloud plans are hard-capped: runs over the limit fail with an error rather than queueing, until the reset on the 1st of the month or an upgrade.
On monthly billing, Pro (50k) can raise its limit at $2 per 1,000 extra executions, up to 500,000; annual plans must email n8n. Above that, Business is self-hosted only and Enterprise is quote-only.
US billing addresses pay in USD; EU accounts pay the same figures in euros.
Cloud Starter restricts active concurrent executions to 5 at a time.
