# DelegateTxRateLimitExceeded (/docs/errors/chain/DelegateTxRateLimitExceeded)

The delegate changed its take again before the per-hotkey take-change rate limit elapsed. Compare blocks since the hotkey's last take transaction against the `TxDelegateTakeRateLimit` storage item and retry later.

Declared by the `SubtensorModule` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`rate_limited`](/docs/errors/rate-limited).

## Remediation [#remediation]

Wait for the rate-limit window to pass, then retry

The same explanation is available in the terminal: `btcli explain DelegateTxRateLimitExceeded`.
