same question

I share the same inquiry as well. With the removal of KickChatMember/BanChatMember, the latest version seems to lack clarity on how to kick/ban users.

In case someone is still facing the same problem, the solution is to use 'Request' instead of 'KickChatMember'. I hope this helps ;)

h.logger.Infof("Banning bot: %v", GetUsername(&user))

banChatMemberConfig := tgbotapi.BanChatMemberConfig{
	ChatMemberConfig: tgbotapi.ChatMemberConfig{
		ChatID: ctx.Chat.ID,
		UserID: user.ID,
	},
	RevokeMessages: false,
}

h.bot.Request(banChatMemberConfig)
