Hey everyone, I’m in a bit of a pickle with my Telegram bot. It’s got a huge following of about 1.2 million users, which is awesome, but now I’m struggling to send messages to all of them.
The main issue is that Telegram doesn’t have a way to send messages in bulk. I have to send them one by one, and after a few thousand messages, I keep getting this Error 429 saying I’m making too many requests.
This is really frustrating because I can’t reach all my subscribers. Has anyone dealt with this before? I’m wondering if there’s a trick to get around this rate limit or maybe a better way to manage messaging such a large group. Any tips or advice would be super helpful!
Having dealt with similar issues, I can tell you that managing a large Telegram audience requires some strategic thinking. One approach that’s worked well for me is implementing a time-based distribution system. Essentially, you spread out your message sends over a longer period - think hours or even days. This not only helps you stay within Telegram’s rate limits but can also improve engagement rates as your messages aren’t all competing for attention at once.
Another tactic worth considering is message prioritization. Not all messages need to reach all 1.2 million users. By categorizing your content and targeting specific segments of your audience, you can reduce the total number of messages sent while potentially increasing relevance for recipients.
Lastly, don’t underestimate the power of optimizing your message content. Concise, impactful messages that encourage user interaction can help you achieve your communication goals with fewer total messages sent.
yo, i feel ur pain. been there, done that. what worked for me was using a webhook instead of long polling. it’s way more efficient for handling lots of msgs. also, try breaking ur audience into smaller chunks and stagger ur broadcasts. that way u dont hit the limit as quick. good luck mate!
I’ve been in your shoes, and it’s definitely a challenge to manage such a large audience on Telegram. From my experience, the key is to work within Telegram’s limits rather than trying to bypass them.
What worked for me was implementing a queuing system. Instead of trying to send all messages at once, I set up a queue that sends messages gradually over time. This way, you’re less likely to hit the rate limit.
Another strategy I found effective was segmenting my audience. Instead of messaging everyone at once, I divided them into smaller groups based on engagement levels or interests. This not only helps with the rate limit issue but also improves engagement rates.
Lastly, consider using Telegram’s Channels for broadcasting messages. They’re designed for large audiences and have different rate limits than bots.
Remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Patience and strategic planning go a long way in managing large-scale messaging on Telegram.
