Learn how a one-item batch loop stops at run index five.
Setup and use
Run the workflow manually. It creates the numbers 0 through 9, processes one per loop, and stops at zero-based run index 5. The example has no external side effects; replace the example step with your own work when adapting the pattern.
Behavior
After visiting the sixth item (number 5), the workflow returns Loop Ended; numbers 6 through 9 are not visited. Open Flow additionally returns the numbers it visited in a visited object. The n8n example exposes the message on its final Set node.

Changes to the source
- Express the batch counter and completion condition directly in Open Flow, and expose the visited numbers for inspection.
