# OutOfGas (/docs/errors/chain/OutOfGas)

The contract exhausted the gas limit supplied for this execution before completing. Increase the `gas_limit` argument on `call` or `instantiate`; dry-run the call via RPC to estimate the required weight.

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 OutOfGas`.
