Could you please tell my why I cant stake my flow?

I am receiving this Error: [Error Code: 1101] cadence runtime error Execution failed: error: pre-condition failed: Cannot register a node operator if the staking auction isn’t in progress → 8624b52f9ddcd04a.FlowIDTableStaking:1176:12

I did a test with 10 flow on staking, now is the second time (in the guide it says to delegate more flows, but this doesnt work properly for me)

also I see in the code this panic thing (maybe will help) : prepare(account: AuthAccount) {  
self.stakingCollectionRef = account.borrow\<&FlowStakingCollection.StakingCollection\>(from: FlowStakingCollection.StakingCollectionStoragePath)  
?? panic(“Could not borrow ref to StakingCollection”)

The reason is because in about the last day of each epoch, we are in the epoch setup phase. This is an important phase where nodes have to perform necessary setup operations and staking is not allowed. Later today, the epoch will end and staking will be allowed again. 😃
