# NotEnoughStakeToSetChildkeys (/docs/errors/chain/NotEnoughStakeToSetChildkeys)

Raised by `set_children` when the parent hotkey's total stake is below `StakeThreshold` and it is not the subnet owner hotkey. Compare the hotkey's total stake (`btcli stake list`) against the `StakeThreshold` storage value.

Declared by the `SubtensorModule` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`insufficient_balance`](/docs/errors/insufficient-balance).
