# AmountTooLow (/docs/errors/chain/AmountTooLow)

A stake, unstake, move or swap amount was zero or its TAO equivalent fell below the minimum stake threshold after fees and slippage. Compare the amount against the `DefaultMinStake` storage item and the subnet's alpha price before retrying with a larger amount.

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

Declared at [`pallets/subtensor/src/macros/errors.rs#L189`](/code/pallets/subtensor/src/macros/errors.rs#L189).

## Remediation [#remediation]

Raise the amount above the chain minimum stake (after fees/slippage); check with `btcli stake list` / subnet price

The same explanation is available in the terminal: `btcli explain AmountTooLow`.
