Mailing in BOT-T: instant connection with the audience

Updated Oct 4, 2026

Message delivery speed in a Telegram bot is one of the most important indicators of its effectiveness. The faster users receive information, the higher the likelihood of their engagement and satisfaction.

Do you want your messages in Telegram to reach users instantly? Not sure how to achieve maximum delivery speed? In this article, we will debunk myths and share the secrets of fast and effective communication with your audience through a Telegram bot.

Telegram API restrictions

Let’s talk a little about the limitations and capabilities of sending messages on behalf of a Telegram bot.

Telegram limits bot speed: no more than 30 messages per second from one bot and 1 message per second to one user. Although short-term spikes in requests to the Telegram API are allowed, it can’t all be that easy and simple — Telegram suspends message sending from a bot for 30 seconds the first time and for 120 seconds if it happens again. During this time, the bot completely stops broadcasting for the duration of the message-sending freeze.

Useful information for developers

When studying the documentation Telegram API you may have noticed that it lacks more detailed information about some limits on sending messages by a Telegram bot.

Through trial and error, we found the limits for the main message-sending methods. (see the table)

That is, if we want to make a mailing campaign containing text and an image – without errors, the bot can perform only 60 calls within 15 seconds, and if text and animation, then already on the 11th call within 5 minutes we will get an error, since the sending period for messages with animation is 5 minutes for a quantity of 10 GIF files – unfortunately, this is a Telegram limitation, which you can try to remove for your bot by contacting support or adapt your mailing-sending code to Telegram API limits.

BOT-T: A mailing that outpaces time

We still haven’t figured out the question of “What exactly are broadcasts in Telegram bots?”.

Broadcasting in Telegram bots is a powerful and versatile tool that can inform audiences about a particular promotion in your store, a fresh piece of news, or another important event.
In order not to manually send a message to each user, you need mass messaging to your project’s user database.

It is suitable for a wide variety of purposes, both for business and for personal use.
