# CannotReleaseYet (/docs/errors/chain/CannotReleaseYet)

`release_deposit` was called too early: the current block must exceed the deposit's block plus `ReleaseDelay`, and safe-mode must be exited. Check the block key of the entry in `Deposits` against the `ReleaseDelay` config.

Declared by the `SafeMode` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`too_early`](/docs/errors/too-early).
