# StakingRateLimitExceeded (/docs/errors/chain/StakingRateLimitExceeded)

Staking operations (add\_stake, remove\_stake, and similar) were submitted faster than the per-block staking rate limit allows for the hotkey-coldkey pair. Space the transactions out and retry in a later block.

Declared by the `SubtensorModule` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`rate_limited`](/docs/errors/rate-limited).

## Remediation [#remediation]

Wait for the rate-limit window to pass, then retry

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