Description

I used this program to upload some video files from my VPS. At first, it worked very well, but after a while, this error appeared, and then I needed to wait for some time to continue uploading. Then keep repeating this process.

Traceback (most recent call last):

What I Did

I find https://docs.telethon.dev/en/latest/concepts/errors.html#common-errors, still don't know how to solve the problem.

Hi, I can add a wait for the error, but I don't think I can skip the wait.

[kevinmay99]

Hi, do you know what cause the wait? It seems that my VPS in US works better than VPS in japan. Is there anyway to change to another account automaticly to continue uploading while a account need to wait? (accounts are in the same group)

A similar error I encountered too when I tried to upload to my channel using the invite link. There were no problems when I uploaded using the channel username. Telegram thinks that files uploaded using the invite links are members added to a channel and the temporary bans happen because Telegram imposes some limits on how many members can be added in a given timeframe. That's why it's better to use the username for public channels/groups and IDs for private ones.

Is it possible to specified a channel id instead of a URL in case of a private channel? I also met this error. Although I have to say I use find together with telegram-upload to only process a specific file type, so I can't use the --directory option.

Currently I can work around this by temporarily switching the channel to public, use its name instead but this is not optimal.

Appreciate the tool though, works excellent!

Hi, there are other issues similar to what you mention like #160. This incident is about another matter. Please use the correct issue or create a new issues.

Thanks!
