The Telegram limits are listed below (they will be updated as needed).
Subscription limits:
- Chats/groups/supergroups: You can subscribe to 5 chats/groups/supergroups in a row, after which the delay will begin to increase exponentially, starting at 360 seconds. If you subscribe with an 8-minute (480-second) delay between targets, you can reach a limit of 50 targets, after which a 5-hour flood occurs.
- Channels: You can subscribe to 5 channels in a row; after that, the delay begins to increase exponentially starting at 360 seconds. If you subscribe with an 8-minute (480-second) delay between targets, it reaches a limit of 50 targets, after which a flood occurs for 5 hours.
Messaging limits:
- Sending private messages by username: You can send up to 50 messages per day from one account (usually 40–44). A cooling-off period ranging from 2 weeks to 3 months has been observed. After that, a ban typically occurs, depending on the number of complaints.
Invite Limits:
- There are limits on inviting users to chats, groups, and supergroups. You can invite users by username or ID up to 50 times, but it is not recommended to invite users to new chats that were created less than a month ago.
You can send up to 30 invitations per day using phone numbers; it is also not recommended to invite users to new chats that were created less than a month ago.- You can invite users to channels up to 50 times a day, but you can only invite the first 200 people to a channel; after that, you cannot invite new users.
There are also limits on verifying phone numbers—currently up to 30 numbers per account per day. Each account is limited to subscribing to up to 500 chats or channels (Telegram does not distinguish between chats and channels). If you don’t have access to your old session, you can only deactivate it 24 hours after logging in to a new one. If you have any comments or corrections regarding this text, I’d be happy to hear them.
