All airtable requests are failing

[jambronner]

Bug Description

Hi - I'm having an issue with my airtable requests. Whether it's a trigger or node, I'm getting the error "INVALID_REQUEST" on all workflows that use airtable. I have tried to update my personal access token and use oAuth2 credentials, but I'm not sure if the issue is happening at the credentials level or at the workflow level. I have also updated to the latest version of n8n but this did not fix the issue.

All of my airtable workflows were functional up until about 3 hours ago when the errors started occurring.

Full error details:

Hey @jambronner,

We have created an internal ticket to look into this which we will be tracking as "GHC-341"

Hey @jambronner

Did it stop working before you upgraded or after?

Do you remember which version you were using when it was working?

Hi, thanks for your help.

It stopped working before I upgraded. I received alerts of all my workflows failing so I figured upgrading might fix the issue. But even after upgrading, the issues remained.

I don't remember which version I was on unfortunately, but I last upgraded about 1 month ago, so I was on a fairly recent version.

Hey @jambronner,

I have taken a look on my self hosted n8n instance and the node appears to be working fine so I don't currently think this is an issue with n8n itself. Have you checked in Airtable to make sure you are not hitting their API limits or base size limits?
