# `module_depth`

Class

[`budget`](https://aontu.dev/errors#budget)

Since

`0.53.0`

Kind

fixed code

## What it means

evaluation hit a deterministic limit.

## What to do

usually a cycle; simplify, or raise the budget deliberately

## Where this comes from

[`test/spec/errcodes.tsv`](https://github.com/aontu-lang/aontu/blob/main/test/spec/errcodes.tsv), the shared registry both implementations execute and assert set equality against. The _message text_ is deliberately not reproduced here: the engines are its catalogue, and a copy on this site would be a second source of truth for something already generated once. To read it, run the engine — or see [the skill's error-code guide](https://github.com/aontu-lang/aontu/blob/main/docs/skill/error-codes.md).
