Hi everyone, my automation takes about 10-15 minutes to complete and sometimes just ‘dies’ in the middle. Is there a hack for this?

My workflows do some pretty serious "lifting" but when I'm testing it, I don't want to be paying Claude 4 or OpenAI 5 rates - even though that's what I'll be using in production. Which models do you use when testing so you don't bankrupt yourself before your project is done? I'm especially interested in anyone using OpenRouter, with their plethora of models...

My automation works perfectly with small amounts of data, but when it scales up, the APIs start rejecting requests...

Could you give me some ideas on how I could use N8n in my business? Thank you in advance. 😀

Has anyone in the community used replicate to generate images? Is it any good? Is it affordable?
