# SubnetLimitReached (/docs/errors/chain/SubnetLimitReached)

`register_network` failed because the subnet count is at the network limit and no existing subnet is eligible to be pruned. Check the number of registered subnets (`btcli subnets list`) against the subnet limit and retry once a subnet becomes prunable.

Declared by the `SubtensorModule` 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 SubnetLimitReached`.
