# EvmKeyAssociateRateLimitExceeded (/docs/errors/chain/EvmKeyAssociateRateLimitExceeded)

`associate_evm_key` was called again before the per-UID rate limit since the last association elapsed. Compare blocks since the association recorded in the `AssociatedEvmAddress` storage against the `EvmKeyAssociateRateLimit` runtime constant 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 EvmKeyAssociateRateLimitExceeded`.
