Telegram Polling Crashes After 20-30 Minutes - Help Needed

[blissful sinew]

🔴 Issue

Telegram bot polling is crashing repeatedly after running for 20-30 minutes. The bot stops responding to incoming messages, but the token remains valid and OpenClaw processes are still running.

📋 What Happens

1. Fresh start: New Telegram bot token is added → bot works fine for ~20-30 minutes
2. Crash point: Polling loop stops responding (no error thrown)
3. Symptom: Messages sent to the bot get no reply
4. Logs: Error: Telegram send failed: chat not found (chat_id=1711507708)
5. Temporary fix: Restarting gateway restores functionality for another 20-30 minutes, then repeats

🛠️ Environment

• Host: Hostinger VPS (Linux x86_64)
• OpenClaw: v2026.4.21
• Telegram setup: Long-polling (default, not webhooks)
• Bot: Fresh token, properly initialized
• Memory/Disk: Healthy (6.7GB free RAM, 85GB free disk)

✅ What I've Tried

• ✅ Revoked old token, created new one → works briefly, then crashes again
• ✅ Verified token validity with API → token is good
• ✅ Checked system resources → no memory leaks or disk issues
• ✅ Restarting gateway → temporary fix only
• ✅ Different bot tokens → same problem

❓ Questions

1. Is there a known issue with Telegram polling on VPS environments (especially Hostinger)?
2. Should I switch to webhook mode instead of long-polling?
3. Are there polling timeout configs I should adjust?
4. Is this a stall-detection/recovery issue in the polling watchdog?

Any help or insights appreciated! 🙏

Telegram Polling Crashes After 20-30 Minutes - Help Needed

[reef condor]

I’d treat this as two possibly separate signals:

1. Telegram send failed: chat not found (chat_id=1711507708) is an outbound send failure, not by itself proof that polling died. It usually means Telegram says the bot can’t send to that chat: wrong/stale target, user hasn’t started that specific bot, bot was blocked/kicked, or a persisted route/session is pointing at an old chat.
2. The 20–30 min “goes quiet until gateway restart” pattern does sound like polling/network liveness, especially on VPS egress/IPv6/TLS/proxy weirdness.

A few concrete checks:

openclaw status --all
openclaw channels status --probe
openclaw logs --follow

In the logs, look specifically for:

• Polling stall detected
• Network request for 'getUpdates' failed!

• TypeError: fetch failed
• getUpdates conflict / 409 conflicts
• repeated sends to chat_id=1711507708

Answers to your questions:

• I don’t know of a Hostinger-specific Telegram bug, but VPS networking/DNS/IPv6 issues are exactly the class of thing the Telegram docs call out.
• Webhook mode can help if your VPS has stable public HTTPS/reverse-proxy ingress, because it avoids long-held polling connections. But long polling is supposed to work, so I’d diagnose/upgrade first rather than switching immediately.
• The relevant configs are channels.telegram.timeoutSeconds and channels.telegram.pollingStallThresholdMs. Don’t lower timeoutSeconds; older/low values can cause fixed-cadence aborts. pollingStallThresholdMs defaults to 120000 and can be raised only if watchdog restarts are false positives.
• Yes, there is stall detection/recovery: long polling watchdog restarts after 120s without completed getUpdates liveness and rebuilds transport.

Important: you’re on 2026.4.21. Current docs mention Telegram polling recovery behavior that looks newer than that, so my first recommendation is: upgrade OpenClaw, restart the gateway, then run openclaw channels status --probe after it has been idle for ~30 minutes.

Docs:
https://docs.openclaw.ai/channels/telegram#runtime-behavior
https://docs.openclaw.ai/channels/telegram#polling-or-network-instability
https://docs.openclaw.ai/channels/troubleshooting#telegram

If it still happens after upgrading, please paste the 2–3 minutes of log lines around the first silence point, especially any getUpdates, Polling stall, chat not found, or 409 lines. That’ll tell us whether this is outbound target state vs actual poller stall.

[blissful sinew]

Hey, thanks for your reply.
I am a very non-technical person. Could you please check this issue and fix it through an AnyDesk session if possible? Let me know if it’s okay and not against any community guidelines.

[reef condor]

Totally fair — and thanks for asking first.

I can’t do an AnyDesk/remote-control session or log into your VPS from here. That’s safer for you too: don’t give remote access, SSH access, bot tokens, or server passwords to people in Discord unless you fully trust them.

What I can do is walk you through it step-by-step in this thread. We can keep it non-technical and copy/paste based.

First, please run these on your VPS and paste the output here. They’re read-only and should redact secrets:

openclaw --version
openclaw status --all
openclaw channels status --probe

Then, if Telegram has already gone quiet, also run:

openclaw logs --tail 200

Before posting logs, quickly check there’s no bot token in them. A Telegram token looks like 123456789:ABC...; if you see one, replace it with [REDACTED].

Once you paste that, I’ll help identify the exact fix — likely either upgrade/restart, Telegram network/proxy/IPv4 config, or stale chat routing.

[blissful sinew]

  Invalid config at /data/.openclaw/openclaw.json:\n- messages.groupChat: Unrecognized key: "visibleReplies"
• plugins: Unrecognized key: "bundledDiscovery"

[reef condor]

Good catch — this explains why doctor can’t even start.

Those two config keys are from newer OpenClaw config:

• messages.groupChat.visibleReplies
• plugins.bundledDiscovery

But your CLI is 2026.4.21, which doesn’t recognize them. So this is probably a version/config mismatch, and it may also be why you’re missing newer Telegram polling recovery fixes.

Best fix: upgrade OpenClaw first, then rerun doctor.

Please try:

pnpm add -g openclaw@latest
openclaw --version

openclaw gateway restart
openclaw doctor --fix
openclaw channels status --probe

If pnpm says command not found, stop there and paste that error — don’t start guessing random install commands yet.

If the upgrade command also fails because the config is invalid, we can temporarily remove those two newer keys, run doctor, then upgrade. Backup first:

cp /data/.openclaw/openclaw.json /data/.openclaw/openclaw.json.bak-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)
python3 - <<'PY'
from pathlib import Path
p = Path('/data/.openclaw/openclaw.json')
s = p.read_text()

lines = []
for line in s.splitlines():
    if 'visibleReplies' in line or 'bundledDiscovery' in line:
        continue
    lines.append(line)
p.write_text('
'.join(lines) + '
')
PY
openclaw doctor --fix

That second block only removes the two config lines that your installed version is rejecting, and it makes a backup first. After that, upgrade to latest and restart the gateway.

[blissful sinew]

Technical Summary of Actions:

Upgrade Attempt: Tried to update the CLI using pnpm, but the command was not found. The system is currently running on version 2026.4.21.

Configuration Issue: The gateway failed to start due to unrecognized keys (visibleReplies and bundledDiscovery) in the config file.

Manual Cleanup: I used the sed command to remove those specific lines from ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.

Doctor Check: Ran openclaw doctor --fix. It confirmed the configuration is now valid and updated the Telegram channel settings.

Gateway Execution: Since this is a Docker container without systemd, I ran the gateway in the foreground using the openclaw gateway command.

Current Logs: The terminal shows the gateway is "Ready". It indicates that the @BrutusAss_Bot provider has started and the logs show a successful sendMessage to the chat.

The logs indicate that the system is running, but I have not yet performed manual testing. Please let me know how you would like me to proceed from here.

[reef condor]

Nice — that’s progress. The gateway being Ready + successful sendMessage means the config is valid again and Telegram can send right now.

Proceed like this:

1. In Telegram, send the bot a simple DM like:

hi

If it asks for pairing, complete/approve the pairing flow.

2. Leave openclaw gateway running in that terminal for at least 35–40 minutes. Don’t close the terminal, because foreground gateway stops when that command stops.

3. After 35–40 minutes, send the bot another message:

still there?

4. If it replies: good — the immediate breakage was the invalid config. Then update the Docker image from Hostinger hPanel: Docker Manager → Update, because 2026.4.21 is old and you still want the newer Telegram polling recovery fixes.

5. If it does not reply, do not restart yet. In the same VPS/container, run and paste:

openclaw channels status --probe
openclaw logs --tail 200

For Hostinger Docker specifically: don’t worry about pnpm missing. The docs say Hostinger Docker updates are managed from hPanel’s Docker Manager — use Update there to pull the latest image. Installing packages inside a running container is usually temporary and can be lost when the container is replaced.

Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/install/hostinger

[blissful sinew]

Update: Initial Test Successful & Stability Monitoring
Current Status:

Initial Test: I sent the "hi" message to @BrutusAss_Bot on Telegram, and the bot replied successfully.

Stability Test: Following your instructions, I am now keeping the terminal open and leaving the gateway running in the foreground for the 40-minute stability period.

Next Steps:

I will wait for the full 40 minutes and then send the "still there?" message to verify the connection hasn't dropped.

Permanent Solution: I am very keen on implementing a permanent fix for these configuration and connection issues. Once this stability test is complete and successful, I will follow your advice to update the Docker image via the Hostinger hPanel Docker Manager. This should resolve the version mismatch permanently by bringing the software up to date with the newer configuration keys and polling recovery fixes.

I will let you know the result of the 40-minute check-in shortly.

[reef condor]

Perfect — that’s exactly the right next step.

Two small notes while you wait:

• Keep that foreground terminal open. If it closes, the gateway stops.
• After the 40-minute check, if it still replies, update through Hostinger Docker Manager and then test once more after the update.

After updating the Docker image, please run/paste:

openclaw --version
openclaw doctor --fix
openclaw channels status --probe

If the 40-minute test fails, don’t restart first — grab:

openclaw channels status --probe
openclaw logs --tail 200

You’re on a much cleaner path now. 🦞

[blissful sinew]

"Update: Stability Test Results & Log Analysis

1. Terminal Timeout: During the wait, the terminal session dropped with a 'connection closed unexpectedly' error. However, following your instructions, I did not restart the system.

2. Status Probe: I opened a new terminal and ran openclaw channels status --probe. The result confirms 'Gateway reachable' and the Telegram channel is 'running' and 'connected'. The bot is still online.

3. Log Evidence: Since openclaw logs on this version (2026.4.21) did not support --tail or -n, I reviewed the full log output. The logs show the gateway became 'Ready' at 18:34 and was still responding to status requests at 19:23.

4. Observation: The system has now been running stably for over 45 minutes without a crash, effectively passing the stability test.

I sent the "still there?" message to the bot after the 40-minute mark, and it replied immediately.

How would you like me to proceed from here?

[reef condor]

Great — that’s a clean pass. 🎉

From here I’d do the permanent fix in this order:

1. In Hostinger hPanel → Docker Manager, use Update for the OpenClaw container/image. That should move you off 2026.4.21 and avoid the config/version mismatch coming back.

2. After the update finishes, start/restart the container from Docker Manager — don’t rely on the foreground openclaw gateway terminal as the permanent runtime.

3. Run these checks:

openclaw --version
openclaw doctor --fix
openclaw channels status --probe

4. Test Telegram again:

hi

Then leave it for another 30–40 minutes and send:

still there?

If the updated version accepts visibleReplies / bundledDiscovery, good — those were just newer config keys on an older runtime. If it still rejects them after updating, paste the new version + doctor output and we’ll adjust.

Also: the terminal disconnect is not the same as OpenClaw crashing. Since the gateway stayed reachable and Telegram replied, the actual service/container kept running, which is good news.

[blissful sinew]

Thik hai, teacher ke liye message mein "wait" ka zikr nahi karte, sirf ab tak ki report dete hain aur unse agla mashwara mangte hain.

Teacher ke liye report ye rahi:

Technical Status Report: Post-Update Attempt & Recovery

1. Hostinger Update Result:

I performed the update via Hostinger hPanel Docker Manager and restarted the container.

Despite the update, openclaw --version still reports 2026.4.21. It seems the Hostinger repository does not have a newer image available at this time.

2. Re-emergence of Config Errors:

Following the restart, the unrecognized keys (visibleReplies and bundledDiscovery) caused the configuration to become invalid again.

The gateway failed to start automatically because of this version/config mismatch.

3. Manual Fix & Current State:

I re-applied the manual sed cleanup to remove the problematic keys from /data/.openclaw/openclaw.json.

I ran openclaw doctor --fix and then started the gateway in the foreground.

The gateway is now Ready, and the Telegram bot is successfully responding to messages.

Since the Hostinger update did not provide a version newer than 2026.4.21, how should I proceed from here to ensure a permanent solution?

[reef condor]

Thanks — that report is clear. The key finding is: Hostinger’s Docker image is still serving 2026.4.21, but the generated/persisted config contains keys from a newer OpenClaw config schema. So this is no longer mainly a Telegram polling issue; it’s a Hostinger image/config version mismatch.

Best path from here:

1. Keep the config compatible with 2026.4.21

Remove these two lines/entries from /data/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

visibleReplies
bundledDiscovery

Then run:

openclaw doctor --fix
openclaw gateway

If it starts and Telegram replies, that is the working recovery.

2. Check whether Hostinger is regenerating the bad config

After a container restart, if those two keys come back again, the Hostinger container/startup template is rewriting openclaw.json with config meant for a newer OpenClaw than the image actually contains. In that case, manual cleanup will only be temporary.

3. Permanent fix options

Recommended for you: keep using the compatible config, and report this as a Hostinger/OpenClaw Docker image mismatch. Include exactly this summary:

Hostinger Docker update still reports openclaw 2026.4.21, but generated config includes newer schema keys:
- messages.groupChat.visibleReplies
- plugins.bundledDiscovery
These keys make 2026.4.21 fail config validation and prevent gateway startup.

OpenClaw issue link if needed: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues

More advanced option: run a newer official OpenClaw image yourself with the same persistent config volume. I would not recommend that as the first path if you’re non-technical, because Docker volume/env mistakes can make recovery harder.

For now, your safe operating state is: 2026.4.21 + those two keys removed + gateway/container running normally.

[blissful sinew]

"Update: Restart Test Confirms Persistent Schema Mismatch"

Observation:
I restarted the container via Hostinger hPanel. Immediately after the restart, openclaw doctor --fix reported the same 'Invalid config' errors for visibleReplies and bundledDiscovery.

Conclusion:
This confirms that the Hostinger container environment is either persisting or regenerating a config schema that is too new for the 2026.4.21 image it provides. The manual fix is overwritten on every restart.

Action:
I am re-applying the manual sed cleanup to keep the bot operational for now.

How should I proceed with Hostinger to get them to align their image version with the config they are generating?"

[reef condor]

Yep — that restart test confirms it. This is something Hostinger needs to fix on their side: their container/config bootstrap is producing config for a newer OpenClaw schema, while the image they’re running is still 2026.4.21.

I’d send Hostinger support this exact report:

Subject: OpenClaw Hostinger Docker image/config version mismatch

My Hostinger OpenClaw Docker container reports:
openclaw --version = 2026.4.21

But after every container restart, the config at /data/.openclaw/openclaw.json contains newer schema keys that 2026.4.21 does not support:
- messages.groupChat.visibleReplies
- plugins.bundledDiscovery

Because of this, OpenClaw fails to start with:
Invalid config at /data/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

- messages.groupChat: Unrecognized key: "visibleReplies"
- plugins: Unrecognized key: "bundledDiscovery"

Manual workaround: removing those two keys makes `openclaw doctor --fix` pass and the Telegram bot works again, but the bad keys return after container restart.

Please update the OpenClaw Docker image used by Hostinger, or change the generated config template so it matches OpenClaw 2026.4.21.

Attach screenshots/log snippets of:

openclaw --version
openclaw doctor --fix

Do not include your Telegram bot token, gateway token, API keys, or full .env.

If Hostinger asks for an upstream issue, point them here: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues. You can also file the issue yourself with the same text, but Hostinger likely needs to fix their image/template rollout.

[blissful sinew]

Update: Hostinger/Kodee Update Failed to Change Version"

Results:

I allowed Hostinger's AI (Kodee) to recreate the containers.

After the process finished, openclaw --version is still reporting 2026.4.21.

openclaw doctor --fix still fails with the same 'Unrecognized key' errors for visibleReplies and bundledDiscovery.

Conclusion:
The 'Update' provided by Hostinger did not actually pull a newer image. The version/schema mismatch is still present.

[reef condor]

Yep, that confirms Kodee/Hostinger is recreating the same old image, not updating OpenClaw.

At this point I would stop trying “Update/Recreate” loops in Hostinger — they’re just regenerating the broken state.

Your options are:

1. Temporary keep-alive workaround
   After every container restart, remove the two bad config keys again, then run:

openclaw doctor --fix
openclaw gateway

This keeps the bot operational, but it is not permanent.

2. Hostinger support needs to fix their image/template

Send them the report from above and add this line:

Kodee recreated the containers, but the container still reports openclaw --version = 2026.4.21, so the Hostinger OpenClaw image/tag appears stale.

Ask them specifically:

Please update the OpenClaw Docker image/tag used by my Hostinger OpenClaw deployment, or roll back the generated config template so it does not write keys unsupported by 2026.4.21.

3. If Hostinger cannot fix it soon
   The real workaround is to move off the managed Hostinger OpenClaw image and run an official/current OpenClaw Docker image yourself with the same persistent data mounted. But since you said you’re non-technical, I’d only do that with someone you trust helping — Docker volume mistakes can lose config/auth state.

So my recommendation: keep the manual cleanup as the short-term workaround, and escalate to Hostinger with the exact version/schema mismatch. This one is on their deployment image/template, not something you can permanently solve from inside the old container.

[blissful sinew]

Just to clarify my understanding: Is the root cause of this whole issue simply that we need to upgrade to a newer version of OpenClaw?

Also, could you please tell me what the current latest version of OpenClaw actually is? This will help me know what version I should ask Hostinger to pull.

[reef condor]

Yes — based on everything you tested, the root cause is a version/config mismatch:

• Hostinger is running OpenClaw 2026.4.21
• but its generated config includes keys from a newer OpenClaw schema:
  • messages.groupChat.visibleReplies
  • plugins.bundledDiscovery

So the permanent fix is either:

1. Hostinger pulls a newer OpenClaw image that supports those keys, recommended, or
2. Hostinger changes their generated config template so it stays compatible with 2026.4.21.

I checked npm just now: the current latest published OpenClaw version is:

2026.5.7

Ask Hostinger to pull/update their OpenClaw Docker image to 2026.5.7 or at least any version new enough to support those config keys. I’d phrase it like:

Please update my Hostinger OpenClaw Docker image from 2026.4.21 to the latest published OpenClaw version, currently 2026.5.7. The current Hostinger config template writes newer schema keys that 2026.4.21 rejects.

That should be much clearer for their support team.

[blissful sinew]

Technical Update: Version Alignment & Success
The version mismatch issue has been fully resolved. After the Hostinger update/recreation process, the environment is now stable and compliant.

1. Version Verification:

Command: openclaw --version

Result: OpenClaw 2026.5.7 (eeef486)

Status: The system has successfully moved from the stale 2026.4.21 image to the latest 2026.5.7 version.

2. Doctor Diagnostics:

Command: openclaw doctor --fix

Result: The "Invalid config" error regarding visibleReplies and bundledDiscovery has disappeared.

Status: The 2026.5.7 schema natively supports these keys. The doctor finished the checkup with no unrecognized key warnings.

3. Operational State:

The gateway is being initiated, and the Telegram provider is active.

[reef condor]

Beautiful — that confirms the root cause and the fix. 🎉

You’re now on the right version (2026.5.7), and the config schema errors are gone, so the Hostinger image/config mismatch is resolved.

Final sanity check:

openclaw channels status --probe

Then test Telegram once now, and once again after ~30–40 minutes. If both replies work, I’d call this solved.

For Answer Overflow/future users, the solution summary is:

Root cause: Hostinger was running OpenClaw 2026.4.21 while generating config for a newer schema.

Fix: update/recreate the Hostinger OpenClaw Docker image until `openclaw --version` reports 2026.5.7. Then run `openclaw doctor --fix` and restart the gateway/container.

root@749e02e5acca:~#

Could you please confirm whether this issue has now been permanently resolved? I just want to be sure it won’t happen again, especially when I’m out in the field and unable to troubleshoot if my Telegram bot stops responding.

[reef condor]

Yes for the specific issue we traced: the version/schema mismatch is permanently resolved now that the container is actually on 2026.5.7 and doctor --fix no longer rejects visibleReplies / bundledDiscovery.

Telegram status also looks good:

Telegram default: running, connected, mode:polling, works

The one thing I would not ignore is this line:

Gateway event loop degraded: reasons=event_loop_utilization,cpu ... cpuCoreRatio=1.017

That does not mean Telegram is broken. It means the container was very busy when you ran the probe — roughly using a full CPU core. On a small VPS this can happen right after startup, doctor checks, model work, or container recreation.

To be confident before you go into the field:

1. Wait 5–10 minutes with no heavy activity.
2. Run again:

openclaw channels status --probe

3. Send Telegram:

still there?

If Telegram still says works and the bot replies, you’re good operationally. If the event loop warning remains constantly, consider upgrading the VPS size or reducing other workload, because high CPU can still make replies slow or flaky even though the original config problem is fixed.

So: schema/config startup issue fixed; Telegram currently healthy; no system can be guaranteed never to stall, but this specific root cause should not come back unless Hostinger rolls you back to an old image.

[blissful sinew]

I waited for 30 minutes, restarted the container, and ran the status probe command. Here is the terminal information:

Version: OpenClaw 2026.5.7 (eeef486)
Gateway: Reachable
Warning: Gateway event loop degraded. Reasons include cpu utilization. Core ratio is 1.058.
Telegram status: Enabled, configured, running, and connected. The status shows it works.

The Telegram bot is also replying correctly now. Since the version and configuration issue is resolved, should I be worried about that CPU and event loop warning before I head out into the field?

[reef condor]

I’d be cautious, but not alarmed.

The important part is: Telegram says running, connected, works, and the bot is replying. So the original breakage is fixed.

The CPU/event-loop warning means the container is still running hot — about one full CPU core. On a small Hostinger VPS, that can cause slow replies or occasional delays, but it does not mean the Telegram polling issue is back.

Before heading out, I’d do this quick check:

openclaw status --deep
openclaw channels status --probe

Then send the bot one more normal Telegram message. If it replies promptly, you’re okay for now.

For longer-term reliability, I’d recommend one of these:

1. Best: upgrade the VPS/container plan to more CPU if Hostinger offers it.
2. Good enough: avoid running heavy tasks before you leave; let the gateway sit idle for a few minutes, then test Telegram.
3. If it becomes flaky: collect openclaw status --deep output and Hostinger CPU graphs/logs, because then we’re looking at resource pressure, not config mismatch.

So my practical answer: yes, you can probably head out if Telegram replies now — but if this bot is mission-critical in the field, upgrade CPU/resources when you can.

[blissful sinew]

I have run both commands after the system settled. Here is the summary:

Deep Status: The event loop shows as healthy with a CPU ratio of 0.025. The version is confirmed as 2026.5.7 and it is reported as up to date.

Channel Probe: During the probe, the event loop spiked again to 1.226. However, the Telegram status remains connected and the detail says it works.

The bot is replying to my messages immediately on Telegram. It seems the version mismatch is gone for good and the system is functional

[reef condor]

That’s the result I wanted to see. ✅

If status --deep settles at CPU ratio 0.025, the gateway is healthy at idle. The spike during channels status --probe is much less concerning — the probe itself does work, so on a small VPS it can briefly push CPU high.

I’d call this resolved:

• OpenClaw is now 2026.5.7
• config schema errors are gone
• Telegram is connected / works
• bot replies immediately
• idle gateway health is normal

For field use: you’re good to go. If anything comes back later, it’s likely a new resource/network issue, not the original version mismatch.
