I don't know best practice of this issue, but usually I just do delete the webhook and set it again to my endpoint

1. https://api.telegram.org/bot/deleteWebhook.
2. https://api.telegram.org/bot/setWebhook?url=https://example.com/api/ (as mentioned in https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#setwebhook).

Just make sure your code don't have any errors, because Telegram server will keep trying to send the exact message to your webhook URL and make the pending count keep increasing.

You can clear pending_update_count by setting drop_pending_updates=True to clear pending_update_count.

1. https://api.telegram.org/bot/setWebhook?url='https://example.com"&drop_pending_updates=True
2. https://api.telegram.org/bot/deleteWebhook?drop_pending_updates=True

These two methods will be able to clear the pending_update_count.
