Maximum Number Of Repeats Exceeded

Hi guys,

Does anyone know what this error is about? I have never seen it before, however seems like it does relate to make. This scenario has run many times without this error and I have a break enabled to retry 3 times and nothing seems to fix it. Make support hasn’t responded to any of my tickets?

Same here. I think it has something to do with the issue Make posted on status.make.com. Something happed on the 19th of August and that’s when my scenario stopped (same error) and judging from the date of your post, you were probably affected by that too!

Hello both @here, thanks a lot for raising this in the community.

I wanted to let you know that this was a known issue on our end, and our development team has confirmed that it has now been fixed. Feel free to test on your end and let us know if everything works as expected.

We’re very sorry for any trouble or disruptions this may have caused. :folded_hands:

Hey there, I still have the same issue:

Hello @Davy1 welcome to the Make Community.

The bug our developers recently fixed was related to a scenario timeout issue. Although the error message looks very similar, what you’re experiencing shouldn’t be connected to this issue.

To address this, I recommend making use of our error handlers. They’ll help your workflows to remain stable even if something unexpected happens.

Here are some resources to get you started:

It seems this error is coming from Make.com when the scenario exceeds the allowed number of repeats.
This usually happens if there’s a Repeater, Iterator, Router loop or a recursive flow that keeps running more times than the platform limit (for safety reasons, Make stops it to prevent infinite loops).

:white_check_mark: Possible fixes:

  1. Check execution logs → see which module is repeating too many times.

  2. If using Repeater → adjust the repeat count or lower it.

  3. If using Iterator/Aggregator → try to filter or batch data instead of processing everything at once.

  4. Review your routers/loops → add a break or condition to stop unnecessary repetitions.

  5. If you really need higher limits → you’ll need to contact Make support to increase the repeat cap.
