List of Transaction Error Messages

Here is the list of failed transaction messages which can be checked by querying your transaction hash, checking the transaction hash on explorer or checking the blockchain pool transactions.

Here is how with the hmy cli :

Linux

./hmy failures plain --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io"

MacOS

./hmy.sh -- failures plain --node="https://api.s0.t.hmny.io"

failed messages are network and shard specifics, please use the shard you were sending the transaction from and change the --node value accordingly. Mainnet example on shard 1 would be : https://api.s1.t.hmny.io

Message	Notes
transaction size is <tx size in Bytes>: oversized data	A transaction cannot be more than 32KB to prevent DDOS attacks
transaction value is <tx value>: negative value	Transaction value is negative
transaction gas is <tx gas-limit>: exceeds block gas limit	Assumed to be hardcoded / config
transaction sender is <tx from addr>: invalid sender	Transaction sent from an invalid account
transaction gas-price is <tx gas-price> ONE: transaction underpriced	Too low transaction fee
transaction nonce is <tx nonce>: nonce too low	Occurs when the nonce associated with that transaction is too lower than the actual nonce
insufficient funds for gas * price + value	Usually when not enough holdings to pay for gas
transaction gas is <tx gas-limit>: intrinsic gas too low	Intrinsic gas is based on the size of the transaction including data
transaction gas-price is <tx gas-price> ONE in full transaction pool: transaction underpriced	Transactions can get dropped if tx pool is full and tx has lowest gas
existing transaction price was not bumped enough: replacement transaction underpriced	If a transaction attempts to replace another with less gas than the original, it will get dropped
old transaction, nonce <tx nonce> is too low	During promotion (from 'future' txs to pending txs in pool) the nonce is checked again
unpayable transaction, out of gas or balance of <acc bal in ONE >cannot pay cost of <cost on ONE>	During promotion (from 'future' txs to pending txs in pool) balance is checked again
exceeds cap for queued transactions for account <one1... address>	Each account has a limit in the number of txs it can put into the tx pool
fairness-exceeding pending transaction	If tx pool is full, txs from accounts with highest number of total transactions in pool will be dropped
exceeds global cap for queued transactions	Occurs when the tx can´t be queued because global cap for queued tx pool exceeds the max
old transaction, nonce <tx nonce> is too low	During demote (from pending txs in pool to 'future' txs) the nonce is checked again
unpayable transaction, out of gas or balance of <acc bal in ONE > cannot pay cost of <cost in ONE>	During demote (from pending txs in pool to 'future' txs) balance is checked again
demoting pending transaction	Tx was not added to the pool and move to queue of 'future' txs
