Hey @ikengaspeaks

This looks like your browser tab has ran out of memory possibly down to the amount of data being loaded in your workflow or maybe a bad expression.

Can you share a workflow that reproduces this issue?

Thanks - it happens in all my workflows - it’s quite random. What’s the best way to share the workflow though - any any guide links as to how much memory is required at a minimum *Ngozi Dozie* co-founder ( https://www.facebook.com/getcarbon ) ( https://www.linkedin.com/company/carbonup/ ) ( https://twitter.com/get_carbon ) ( https://www.youtube.com/getcarbon ) ( https://www.instagram.com/getcarbon/ ) *T* *:* +16503347374, +2347030004545 *E* *:* ***@***.*** ( ***@***.*** )* *W* *:* getcarbon.co ( http://getcarbon.co/ ) *A* *:* 642c Elpina Plaza Adeyemo Alakija Str, Victoria Island, Lagos

Hey @ikengaspeaks

The minimum memory doesn't tend to matter as this is happening on the client side rather than the server but n8n can run happily with as little as 320mb of memory.

I think typically browser tabs are between 2 and 4GB but we do some evaluations on the client side when viewing execution runs which can cause issues.

In the past this error has occurred when working with thousands of items in the ui, a lot of pinned data, using .reverse() in an expression.

To share a workflow you can copy / paste the nodes or use the exported option on the top right under the workflow settings (https://docs.n8n.io/courses/level-one/chapter-6/)

If you can capture a video of it happening that is always good as well.

Ok - thanks.  It tends to be quick and I get the following error (attached) Please let me know if also find attached the last workflow I was working on Thanks, Ngozi *Ngozi Dozie* co-founder ( https://www.facebook.com/getcarbon ) ( https://www.linkedin.com/company/carbonup/ ) ( https://twitter.com/get_carbon ) ( https://www.youtube.com/getcarbon ) ( https://www.instagram.com/getcarbon/ ) *T* *:* +16503347374, +2347030004545 *E* *:* ***@***.*** ( ***@***.*** )* *W* *:* getcarbon.co ( http://getcarbon.co/ ) *A* *:* 642c Elpina Plaza Adeyemo Alakija Str, Victoria Island, Lagos
