# TooManyFreezes (/docs/errors/chain/TooManyFreezes)

The account already has the maximum number of balance freezes, so a new freeze cannot be added. Check the account's `Freezes` entry against the `MaxFreezes` constant; an existing freeze must be thawed first.

Declared by the `Balances` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`limit_exceeded`](/docs/errors/limit-exceeded).
