One of my own workflows — the gate that decides whether a new WhatsApp contact gets the bot or gets me — failed 24 times between Thursday and Sunday. Seventy-one hours. I found out on Monday morning, by opening the executions list for an unrelated reason.
That is embarrassing for someone who sells automation. So instead of fixing the one workflow and moving on, I went and measured the actual state of error handling across all 225 workflows on my main production instance. Here is every execution my instance still retains — pruning is on, so this is a six-day window, 18–24 August:
