# UpdateEnergyLimit

Update the origin\_energy\_limit parameter of a smart contract.

This method will use `30` [Compute Units](/v1/about/billing.md).

***

{% hint style="danger" %}

#### Origin Energy Limit

Starting with Java-Tron Odyssey 3.2 release, this parameter is required for deploying new contracts, and the value **should be larger than 0**. For contracts already deployed on the Mainnet prior to Odyssey 3.2, the value is stored as 0, but treated as maximum = 10,000,000.
{% endhint %}

## **Parameters**

* `owner_address` - String - The contract owner address, converted to a hex string
* `contract_address` - String - The address of the contract to be modified, in hex string format
* `origin_energy_limit` - int32 - Adjusted upper limit of energy provided by smart contract developers in one transaction
* `permission_id` - int32 - The ID of the permission that is required to execute the transaction, for multi-signature use
* `visible` - boolean - Specifies whether the address is in Base58 format (default: false)

## **Returns**

Transaction object - JSON object: Unsigned transaction, please refer to the [Transaction](https://developers.tron.network/docs/tron-protocol-transaction) chapter for the fields contained in it. Since the transaction type is `UpdateEnergyLimitContract`, the fields contained in `raw_data.contract[0].parameter.value` in the transaction are as follows:

| Field                 | Type   | Description                                                                             |
| --------------------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| owner\_address        | string | Account address                                                                         |
| contract\_address     | int    | Contract address                                                                        |
| origin\_energy\_limit | string | Adjusted upper limit of energy provided by smart contract deplovers in one transaction. |
