Trying to follow "the limits" is only going to cause you issues - the only way to handle it right is to respect the floodwaits

Bots aren't intended for large scale notifications/broadcasts. There's no trick, it's just not what telegram want bots to do

Large bots can pay in stars to go above the limits - there's a flag on sendmessage to allow you to do that

Apologies for being unclear; I meant to clarify whether or not it was missing from Botfather after being created. (unless the new managed bot stuff doesn't even have the user create the bot first. i haven't messed with that.)

That’s an interesting point about Stars, thanks! However, our recent tests show a slightly different picture.

We managed to successfully deliver tens of thousands of messages with fewer than 100 errors (429/Flood Wait). So it clearly works, but we’re still not hitting the consistency we’re aiming for.

We seem to be hitting a specific "barrier" or filter even when strictly following the limits with a safety margin (e.g., batch size of 25). We're trying to figure out if this is an algorithmic spam filter triggered by message patterns, or if there's another underlying technical reason we're missing.

Has anyone noticed if message variety (unique content per user) helps bypass this "barrier"?

Hi everyone! 👋

We’re running into some weird behavior with Telegram's limits and could use some advice.

We (the team at BQbot) are implementing a notification system for our beauty salon partners. Even though we’re staying well within the official 30 messages per second limit, we keep hitting FloodWait errors.

We’ve tried several test runs with different delays between batches, but the results are super inconsistent. The FloodWait triggers even when we have significant pauses between outgoing messages.
A few questions for those who’ve dealt with this:

1. Are there any "hidden" rate limits for proactive notifications (bots messaging users first) that aren't in the official docs?

2. Does Telegram trigger spam filters based on message similarity, even if we’re under the global rate limit?

3. Any tips on the best batch size or "cool-down" strategy to avoid these random blocks?

Would appreciate any insights or "war stories" from anyone who’s scaled a notification bot recently. Thanks!
