RPC error -32010: Account excluded from secondary indexes

Last updated: October 24, 2026

At a glance

Cause

The account key is on the node's secondary-index exclusion list (high-cardinality keys like the Token program are excluded to bound index size), so a filtered getProgramAccounts/by-owner scan cannot use the index for it.

Solution

1. Add narrower filters (dataSize, memcmp) so the query does not rely on the excluded key.
2. Use getTokenAccountsByOwner for token-account lookups instead of a raw program scan.
3. Query a node configured to index the key, or paginate with getProgramAccountsV2.

Example

{
  "id": 1,
  "error": {
    "code": -32010,
    "message": "Account TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA excluded from secondary indexes"
  },
  "jsonrpc": "2.0"
