# AutoEpochAlreadyImminent (/docs/errors/chain/AutoEpochAlreadyImminent)

`trigger_epoch` was called when the next automatic epoch is closer than the `AdminFreezeWindow`, so a manual trigger would have no effect. Check the subnet's tempo and blocks until the next epoch, and simply wait for it to fire.

Declared by the `SubtensorModule` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`already_exists`](/docs/errors/already-exists).
