[Question] Method editMessageText slow response in channels

[DorianPeregrim]

Hello.

I try to edit message in channel 20 times (according to group limits in docs) with 1-2 second frequency. For groups with ~10 members it works fine. But in groups with 100+ members I get delay from up to 6+ seconds from second editMessageText method call.

In groups same logic works fine for 10 or 100+ members.

Is this normal behaviour or a bug? Are any ways to speed up my requests in channels?

It is normal behavior. Messages can't be edited so often.

[DorianPeregrim]

But in groups can?

[levlam]

Limits can be different for different chats.

Why is it not 429 like the sendMessage method? What are the actual limits for channels? How can I to avoid slow requests editMessageText? Will it change in the future?

[levlam]

It can be 429, or anything other. This behavior is intended and can't be avoided.
