# ValueTooLarge (/docs/errors/chain/ValueTooLarge)

A value written to contract storage or emitted as event data exceeds the `MaxValueSize` limit. Compare the size of the stored value or event payload against the runtime's maximum value size constant.

Declared by the `Contracts` 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 ValueTooLarge`.
