# root-claim-threshold (/docs/query/root-claim-threshold)

`claim_root` and `claim_root_with_hotkey` silently skip any per-validator
basket redemption whose estimated payout falls below this threshold; the
entitlement keeps accruing and pays out once it clears. Set by root via
`set_root_claim_threshold`.

**Category:** Staking

## Parameters [#parameters]

This read takes no parameters.

## CLI [#cli]

```bash
btcli query root-claim-threshold --json
```

## Python [#python]

Namespace method (autocomplete, signature help):

```python
import bittensor as bt

sub = bt.Subtensor()
result = sub.staking.root_claim_threshold()
```

Or dispatch by name, as an agent would:

```python
result = sub.read("root_claim_threshold")
```

Async is the same surface awaited: `async with bt.Subtensor() as client:`.
