# NotEnoughStakeToSetWeights (/docs/errors/chain/NotEnoughStakeToSetWeights)

Setting or committing weights failed because the hotkey's stake weight on the subnet is below `StakeThreshold` (the weights-min-stake floor); the subnet owner hotkey is exempt. Check the hotkey's stake on that netuid against `StakeThreshold`.

Declared by the `SubtensorModule` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`insufficient_balance`](/docs/errors/insufficient-balance).

Declared at [`pallets/subtensor/src/macros/errors.rs#L35`](/code/pallets/subtensor/src/macros/errors.rs#L35).

## Remediation [#remediation]

The hotkey's stake weight is below the weights floor — stake more to it (`btcli stake add` / `btcli stake list`); funding free TAO alone will not help

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