# E1614 — Runner has active delegated stake

> Runner has active delegated stake

# E1614 — Runner has active delegated stake

| Property | Value |
| - | - |
| **Code** | `1614` |
| **Slug** | `E1614` |
| **Category** | `runner` (Runner / Consensus) |
| **CIP** | CIP-9 §5.1.1 |

## What happened

Runner has active delegated stake: \{amount}.

This is the receipt's `what` text, produced by the node's `ExecutionError::RunnerHasActiveDelegations`. Placeholders in braces are filled from the failing transaction.

## Why it happened

The node rejected the operation with `E1614` (category `runner`, Runner / Consensus). The receipt's `why` field carries the specific cause and `context` carries structured details, such as the values that filled the placeholders above.

The normative rule is in CIP-9 §5.1.1.

## How to fix

Delegators still have active stake on this runner. They must undelegate (and claim unbonded stake) before deregistration.

## Receipt example

```json theme={null}
{
  "code": 1614,
  "slug": "E1614",
  "category": "runner",
  "what": "runner has active delegated stake: {amount}",
  "fix": "Delegators still have active stake on this runner. They must undelegate (and claim unbonded stake) before deregistration.",
  "docs_url": "https://docs.cowboy.inc/errors/E1614"
}
```
