# HotKeySetTxRateLimitExceeded (/docs/errors/chain/HotKeySetTxRateLimitExceeded)

The coldkey attempted a hotkey set/swap before `TxRateLimit` blocks had passed since its last such transaction. Check the coldkey's last transaction block against the `TxRateLimit` storage value and wait the remaining blocks.

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 HotKeySetTxRateLimitExceeded`.
