Infinity polling exception: ChatBoost.__init__() missing 3 required positional arguments

Discussed in https://github.com/eternnoir/pyTelegramBotAPI/discussions/2174

^{Originally posted by BrandonTay2001 February 17, 2024} Receiving this exception on a bot I was running on a server and I'm not quite sure what to make of it. I run multiple bots but only one of them was affected by this bug. A simple restart seemed to have eliminated the issue, but I'm wondering if this is an issue with the .infinity_polling() method in the library. The issue doesn't seem to be originating from my bot file main.py.

Attaching the full exception below:

What pyTelegramBotAPI version? Looks like not the most recent: update first.

[BrandonTay2001]

This is version 4.15.4. Updated pyTelegramBotAPI to the latest version though I don't know how the bug arose in the first place so I can't really try to recreate the issue. The exception was from my server logs and the bot was running without issue for multiple weeks.

So far so good on the latest version.

More information if needed: OS: Ubuntu 22.04 Python version: 3.10.12
