Sometime after just adding a new torrent i'll do a /he to show the progress, but the bot will not reply me, he will just start typing but nothing will popup, looking at the log i'll see

[ERROR] Send: Too Many Requests: retry after 245

probably too much edit-request made by the previous (started days ago) /herequest ?

I faced the same problem yesterday, maybe Telegram has lowered their limit lately.

Can't be, the updates are kept alive for 2 minutes, we edit 60 times with 2 seconds interval, that's excessive to be honest, we should lower that to something like 10 edits with 5 seconds interval would be reasonable. Also maybe we should start supporting webhooks which I believe has a better limit than long polling.

probably another thing can help: if i write 3x /he he will send me 3 message and keep updating these 3 causing 3x request each 2sec ... the old one should at least stop to be updated

Keeping track of how many /he are called and only keep updating the last one would get complicated, Not calling more than one /he or any other live command is advised, Also, If you have many torrents, avoid commands such as /list because it'll send multiple messages at once.

I made a couple of changes to help solve this problem

  • Reduced the duration to 10 and increased the interval to 5, so that's 10 updates with 5 seconds in-between.
  • Introduced a new flag -no-live, If set, No messages will get updated.

Give it a whirl.
