Hello Experts, We have been working on a Web App in bluemix(IBM Cloud) using node-red, recently we have started receiving an unexpected error with not much detail of what is wrong.  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/c/ca1f590a3e31a36b7c78aad96617dfb157c97975.png)

When we run node-red in IBM cloud, the flows are stored in cloudant database, we have noticed that the error appears when we add new nodes or new lines to existing nodes, like if there is a limit of data that can be managed by the deploy action.

Can anybody confirmed this, we are using cloudant lite free version, which give us:  
20  
Lookups  
per second

10  
Writes  
per second

5  
Queries  
per second

1GB  
Storage  
limit

Maybe is something related to the database? is node red doing multiples writes when the deploy button is pressed?

Any help would be appreciated.  
PD I have tried to check the logs and I don't see any meaningful information about the error.  
Thanks

There is also a per-document size limit. You are probably hitting that if it happens when you try adding more things to your flows.

Hi have this error me too. I don't have only "inject" node and "debug" node on my flow, and I link both. No change I tried many different setup, option.

But, it's really basic... I don't understand the error:

and here, the node configuraiton:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/e/ee1cab539835e82b44bb164dd89073ba3bd58931.png)

I think it's about msg configuration  
and.. the error same in the second node... because.. if a I push button to deploy only 1 node, the first one give a warning message. and the last one (Debug), give the error error: node not deployed..

it is the msg.. is not pass from first to second node.. missing config. .. probably...
