#Typing delay in Telegram

Not the biggest issue in the world, but since updating, "typing" takes quite some time to display in the Telegram chat where the indicator used to change to "typing" immediately after submitting chat text. I feel like another user mentioned this. Any feedback on how or why the indicator doesn't change to typing as soon as I've input my text? e.g. "Hi Clawbot" .. no activity for 4 seconds .. "bot" changes to "typing" for a split second and then "Hi Tim.." appears

Hey! 👋 Great question — this is actually a recent regression that was just fixed!

What happened:

  • Jan 20: A PR removed an "unused" typingSignals variable (commit 4c3b4aeb7) which broke instant typing indicators
  • Jan 21: Peter merged the fix (commit 43afad9f5) that adds back typingSignals.signalRunStart() so typing appears immediately for DMs and mentions

The fix is in version 2026.1.21 — if you're on this version or newer, you should have the fix. If you updated between Jan 20-21, you might have hit the broken window.

To fix:

clawdbot update
# or
cd ~/clawdbot-ref && git pull && pnpm install && pnpm build
