# LinkedOutputNotPrunable (/docs/errors/chain/LinkedOutputNotPrunable)

`prune_linked_output` was called by someone other than the record's signer before `expires_at`. The signer may prune at any time; anyone may prune only after expiry.

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

Declared at [`pallets/limit-orders/src/lib.rs#L464`](/code/pallets/limit-orders/src/lib.rs#L464).
