sudo_set_weights_set_rate_limit
Call v138 → v277, v290 → current #7Sets how often neurons can update weights on a subnet .
View calls on chainCall Workflow
This diagram shows the call execution flow: starting with sudo_set_weights_set_rate_limit, passing through validation
(signature, nonce, mortality, fee payment), then pre-dispatch checks, followed by dispatch and modifies storage: SubtensorModule.WeightsSetRateLimit, and finally post-dispatch where ExtrinsicSuccess is emitted and fees are settled.

The Big Picture
Limits how frequently neurons can change their weight assignments. Lower values mean more responsive but noisier consensus.
Use Cases
- Controlling weight churn
- Stabilizing consensus
From Chain Metadata
The extrinsic sets the weights set rate limit for a subnet. It is only callable by the root account. The extrinsic will call the Subtensor pallet to set the weights set rate limit.
