# RootClaimTooHeavy (/docs/errors/chain/RootClaimTooHeavy)

A root claim would walk more work than the fixed pre-dispatch weight envelope can admit. For coldkey-wide `claim_root`, hotkeys times existing networks or total basket rows can exceed `MAX_ROOT_CLAIM_WORK`; a single validator basket with too many rows can also make `claim_root_with_hotkey` fail. Split a coldkey-wide claim by validator where that fits, and investigate or consolidate an individually oversized basket.
