Editorial standard
Written guidance on Telegram messaging mechanics. The standard below is what a guide has to clear before it appears here, and it is the reason the list is short rather than long.
What gets published here? Guides on Telegram messaging mechanics — send limits, consent, deliverability and what the Bot API structurally cannot do. Every guide carries a named author, a publication date, and a link to Telegram's own documentation behind every number in it. Where Telegram publishes nothing, the guide says so rather than repeating a figure that circulates without a source.
Telegram publishes one advertising price — a 0.1 Toncoin minimum CPM — and no minimum deposit at all. Every circulating entry figure set against the documentation, the commission and currency lines the CPM leaves out, and the per-country tables that contradict each other.
The retainer covers three unrelated things, and only two of them are marketing. Telegram's own ad terms on who may bid from an account, the balance that is never refunded, and which figures in the market's pricing tables Telegram has never published.
The Bot API publishes no add-member method, so every working script runs on a personal account instead. Which libraries have the call and which cannot, the update the Bot API withholds by default, and the approval flow that replaces the add.
No bot can join a group by itself, so the tooling runs on personal accounts instead. The full published error surface for posting and joining, the 180× gap between the marketed rate and the tool author's own figure, and the disclosure rules that sit above Telegram's.
The Bot API publishes no method that adds a user to a chat, and the client API answers USER_NOT_MUTUAL_CONTACT. The documented invite-link parameters, the full error table, and the daily limits Telegram never printed.
The Bot API publishes no method that lists members, and the client API answers CHAT_ADMIN_REQUIRED. What each kind of scraper actually returns, Telegram's own terms on scraping, and the numbers the market states that Telegram never printed.
Both Telegram report methods are marked user-only, so no bot can file one. What the panels, scripts and services actually sell, Telegram's own moderation counters, and the four things it documents nowhere.
Every published Telegram send limit with its original wording, the four things Telegram documents nowhere, and a comparison of the contradictory "safe daily limits" the vendor market states as fact.
Send limits, ban triggers and pricing come from Telegram's own documentation, quoted and linked. Where Telegram publishes nothing, the guide says that instead of repeating a number that circulates without a source.
Guides are signed, not published under a brand byline, and the signature belongs to whoever checked the figures — currently Mara Vogel, Head of Delivery.
Telegram ships Bot API changes regularly. A guide that has not been re-checked against the current documentation says when it was last verified.
The answer comes first and the reasoning follows. Nothing here is padded to hit a word count, and nothing is published because a keyword had volume.
The service pages carry the same standard as a guide would: the published limits, the ban triggers, and a plain statement of the ceiling on each type of work.
A written audit answers the version of these questions that applies to your account rather than the general case — what is compliant, what will be rate-limited, and what would get the account banned.
