Have you ever encountered a situation where a bot reports a delay, but every millisecond counts?
When forwarding needs to be instantaneous, it's not just an inconvenience, but a serious problem.
The first thought is that the bot is to blame. But in practice, the problem lies with Telegram itself, or more precisely, with its priority system. When you are subscribed to a very large number of channels and groups, you are physically unable to monitor them all in real time. From Telegram's point of view, such an account is "overloaded," and most notifications for it are not urgent. Thus, the algorithm begins to act preemptively: it artificially lowers the priority of update delivery for your account. As a result, the system delivers messages to you with a significant delay.
Effective methods Here's what you can do to solve this problem.
1. Use Telegram Premium
A paid subscription gives your account a higher priority, which helps to reduce delays. However, as practice shows, this is not always a panacea.
2. Clean up your subscriptions
Conduct a small audit of your channels. Each of them, especially active ones, adds load to your account. Unsubscribe from everything you haven't read in a long time or that has lost its relevance. The less incoming data an account has, the faster it works.
3. Use a "clean" account (the most effective method)
This is a drastic, but most reliable solution. The idea is to create a separate Telegram account that will be used only for working with the bot.
What do you need to do? Register a new Telegram account with a separate phone number.
The main rule: do not subscribe to any channels that you are not going to use in the bot. The account should remain as "clean" as possible to avoid creating unnecessary load.
How to switch? Replace the old account with the new one. Detailed instructions: "How to change the connected account?"
Why does it work? There is no unnecessary information flow on such an account, so Telegram understands the importance of each subscription and sends the corresponding updates as quickly as possible.
An important nuance Sometimes delays can occur on the side of very large channels (from 100,000 subscribers and more). When a message is sent to hundreds of thousands of subscribers, Telegram itself cannot always deliver it to everyone at the same time. These are technical limitations of Telegram itself.
4. Link multiple accounts to one managing account and distribute the forwards among them.
If you still need to keep all your subscriptions and their associated forwards, you can link multiple accounts and distribute the forwards between them - this way you will reduce the load.
Junction Bot offers significant discounts for connecting each subsequent account, and starting from the 5th, each subsequent connection costs only 2 euros:
