NetworkTxRateLimitExceeded
Error v151 → v212, v216 → v219, v233 → v315, v320 → v393, v401 → current 7.33Network creation is rate limited and you're creating too fast.
Why This Error Exists
Subnet creation is rate-limited to prevent rapid-fire subnet creation that could destabilize the network. This gives the network time to adjust to new subnets and prevents gaming through quick create-dissolve cycles. The limit is network-wide, not per-coldkey.
Deep Dive
NetworkRateLimit specifies the minimum blocks between ANY subnet creations network-wide. NetworkLastRegistered stores the block of the most recent subnet creation. If current_block - NetworkLastRegistered < NetworkRateLimit, new creations fail. This is a global cooldown, so even if YOU haven't created a subnet recently, someone else might have.
Debugging Example
You call register_network(...). Error: NetworkTxRateLimitExceeded. Query NetworkLastRegistered - returns block 1,000,000. Query NetworkRateLimit - returns 14,400 blocks (~48 hrs). Current block is 1,010,000. Need to wait until block 1,014,400. That's 4,400 more blocks (~15 hours).
Prevention Tips
- Check NetworkLastRegistered + NetworkRateLimit before attempting subnet creation
- Be prepared to retry if someone else creates a subnet just before you
- Monitor the network for recent subnet creations if timing is critical
From Chain Metadata
A transactor exceeded the rate limit for add network transaction.
What This Means
Network creation is rate limited and you're creating too fast.
Common Causes
- Created a network too recently
- Must wait between network creations
How to Fix
- Wait for NetworkRateLimit blocks to pass
- Check SubtensorModule.NetworkLastRegistered for timing
