n8n errors / Connectivity

Maximum number of redirects exceeded

platform: n8n / category: Connectivity

Cause

The HTTP Request node followed more redirect hops than its limit, often from a redirect loop caused by mismatched OAuth signing URLs or proxy misconfiguration.

Fix

Ensure the URL used to build auth headers exactly matches the request URL (a mismatch triggers an auth-failure redirect loop). In Options, set 'Follow Redirect' false and 'Ignore Response Code' true to capture the raw redirect for debugging. Check that any proxy is not issuing redirects back to n8n.
