# InvalidNumRootClaim (/docs/errors/chain/InvalidNumRootClaim)

The value passed to sudo\_set\_num\_root\_claims exceeds the compile-time maximum number of root claims. Check the `new_value` argument against the chain's `MAX_NUM_ROOT_CLAIMS` constant and pass a smaller number.

Declared by the `SubtensorModule` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`invalid_argument`](/docs/errors/invalid-argument).
