Recursive Messaging Error in Laravel Telegram Bot

Problem: I’m developing a Laravel-based Telegram bot that continually sends the same message. Logs show errors 499 and 500, and I’m using a try-catch block. How can I resolve this?

<?php
BotHandler::dispatchMessage([
    'user_channel' => $userToken,
    'msg'          => "Processing...",
]);

$handlerClass = $this->resolveHandler($inputMessage);
$handlerMethod = $this->resolveMethodName($inputMessage);
$handlerInstance = new $handlerClass();
$resultMessage = $handlerInstance->$handlerMethod($userToken);

try {
    BotHandler::dispatchMessage([
        'user_channel' => $userToken,
        'msg'          => $resultMessage,
    ]);
} catch (BotResponseError $error) {
    $errorDetails = $error->getErrorData();
    if (!$errorDetails['success']) {
        BotHandler::dispatchMessage([
            'user_channel' => '987654321',
            'msg'          => 'Issue detected: ' . $errorDetails['code'] . ' - ' . $errorDetails['info'],
        ]);
    }
}
?>

Based on my experience with similar issues, this error often points to a recursive handling problem where the error dispatching itself might trigger further messages, causing repeated calls. I resolved a similar issue by introducing additional conditional checks to ensure that error responses were not sending messages that would invoke the same handler again. It is also important to review webhooks configurations and ensure that error logging isn’t inadvertently reinforcing the error loop. Revisiting the logic in the try-catch block can help prevent unintentional recursion.
