Getting Past Google Apps Script's 6-Minute Limit and n8n Out-of-Memory Crashes

Description and use

<p>I build Google Sheets and Apps Script tools alongside small Python services, and I keep running into the same two walls as row counts grow.</p> <p>The first is the <code>03:06 AM</code> Google Sheets failure email. An internal Google Apps Script that synced 400 orders or CRM leads in January now has 8,500 rows to process. Google kills the morning run halfway through with <code>Exceeded maximum execution time</code>. The script stops with half the spreadsheet updated, after firing duplicate API webhooks and breaking formulas.</p> <p>The second wall is a quiet <code>n8n</code> container resta
