Each pool enforces a maximum ratio of challenger to staker funds on pool entry in order to provide more predictability around payouts on test failure.

If the pool has already reached the max challenge it can support, you will need to wait until either more stake enters the pool or other challengers exit.

Naturally, this also means you cannot challenge a pool with no stake in it.

If you don't finalize your challenge, your challenge will still [decay](/ante/getting-started/how-ante-works/challenging.md#how-does-decay-work) but you won't be able to claim rewards if the test fails!
{% endhint %}

Once the countdown has ended, click "**Finalize challenge**" to become eligible for reward payout if the test fails
