# MaxCallDepthReached (/docs/errors/chain/MaxCallDepthReached)

A nested contract call would exceed the maximum call stack depth defined in the pallet schedule. Inspect the cross-contract call chain for deep or unbounded recursion and flatten it or raise the configured depth.

Declared by the `Contracts` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`limit_exceeded`](/docs/errors/limit-exceeded).

## Remediation [#remediation]

A chain-side capacity limit was hit; reduce the size or count of the request

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