What is a workflow run?
A workflow run is one successful execution of a workflow from a published app. No matter how many steps, nodes, integrations, loops, or bulk operations the workflow includes, it counts as one workflow run.Workflow runs are tracked separately from credits. Each successful published-app execution uses 1 workflow run from your monthly workflow run allowance.Workflow runs in the editor do not count toward your monthly workflow run limit and do not consume credits.
