Telegram Mass DM: What Telegram Actually Documents
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.
Editorial standard
Sourced, or not published
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.
The four rules a guide has to clear
-
Every figure traces to a primary source
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.
-
A named person is accountable for it
Guides are signed, not published under a brand byline, and the signature belongs to whoever checked the figures — currently Mara Vogel, Head of Delivery.
-
It is dated, and re-dated when it changes
Telegram ships Bot API changes regularly. A guide that has not been re-checked against the current documentation says when it was last verified.
-
It answers the question in the first paragraph
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.
What will not appear here. Round-number "safe daily limits" with no source, guides on scraping member lists or rotating accounts, and anything that describes a result Telegram's own rules make impossible. A technique that works only until the account is restricted is a timer, and publishing it would just be starting one.
Where the sourced material is today
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.
- Broadcast & bulk messaging — the documented send limits, queue design around HTTP 429, and delivery-state reporting.
- Growth & marketing — official Telegram Ads and channel strategy, and what bought members cost a channel later.
- Bots & automation — what the Bot API can do, what it structurally cannot, and first-year running cost.
- About and editorial standards — how figures are checked, and the four categories of work we decline.
Have a specific setup to check?
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.
