Not receiving messages

Conclusion

Messages not being received indicates the bot is not observing expected updates.

Why This Happens

Message visibility varies by chat context, platform rules, bot permissions, user actions, and update delivery mode.

What This Is NOT

This is not, by itself, proof of intentional ignoring, silent reading, or fault by a single party.

Responsibility Boundary

• Telegram typically controls platform rules, update generation, and delivery behavior.
• The bot operator typically controls configuration, runtime availability, and update processing.
• Users typically control whether interactions generate updates, but not the bot’s infrastructure.
