One lesson from building automation tools: keep the first bot narrow and make retries safe. If the same Telegram update arrives twice, an idempotency key or processed-update check should prevent duplicate actions. Set explicit timeouts, keep bot tokens out of logs, and move long-running work off the update handler so one slow task does not stall new messages. What job is your bot handling?
