# SameAutoStakeHotkeyAlreadySet (/docs/errors/chain/SameAutoStakeHotkeyAlreadySet)

The coldkey tried to set its auto-stake destination on a subnet to the hotkey that is already configured. Read `AutoStakeDestination` for the coldkey and netuid before calling; only a different hotkey is accepted.

Declared by the `SubtensorModule` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`already_exists`](/docs/errors/already-exists).
