RayBot and Telegram Rate Limits

If you've landed on this page, chances are you've already hit a rate limit.

😶‍🌫️ What's happening

Telegram limits how many messages a bot can send. Go over the limit and Telegram blocks the bot from sending — anywhere from a few minutes to a full day.

The bot isn't crashing or broken. It's running fine — Telegram just isn't letting its messages through to you.

Where	Limit
Per user	1 message per second
In a group	~20 messages per minute
In direct messages	~40 messages per minute

⚠️ These aren't hard cut-offs. Occasional bursts of ~40 messages per minute are fine — what gets you limited is a sustained firehose at that rate.

🔍 How to tell

You're rate limited if you see any of these:

• 🛑 A warning in your chat: You are receiving too many notifications

• ⏳ A note at the bottom of an alert: Too many messages - delayed due to Telegram rate limits

• 🔇 Notifications stop arriving altogether

To confirm: connect @ray_status_bot — it alerts you when one of your bots gets limited, and /limits shows the status of all of them.

---

1️⃣ Get your notifications back

Send /bots → pick a bot → open it → send /switch → select the limited bot.

All your wallets, settings and filters transfer over automatically.

Using groups? Move to Dedicated Bots — they get limited far less often than a shared RayBot in a group.

2️⃣ Cut down the volume

This is the real fix. Everything else just spreads the load around.

⚙️ Clean up your filters

Clears out the on-chain service events most people don't need if you're tracking traders' buys and sells. Path: /start → Settings → chain.

Network	Turn off
Solana	Migrate · DRiP · cNFT · Burn · Unknown · Add / Remove Liquidity · Claim Fee / Receive Fee / Update Fee · Claim Cashback
Solana → Advanced Filters	Low liquidity transfers · Likely Scam Transfers · StreamFlow · Freeze
EVM	Add Liquidity · Remove Liquidity · Approvals · Tips Maestro · Spoofed transfers

Then set your minimum thresholds (same idea on EVM):

Filter	Value
Min Trade SOL	0.1
Min SOL Transfer	0.1
Min Token Transfer USD	$5
Min Other USD	$5

💡 These filters cut out up to 95% of the spam and scam activity that lands on tracked wallets. You'll still receive all the core transactions and interactions with known protocols.

🔀 Spread the load

Don't keep 1,000 wallets in one bot.

Approach	How
Split across bots	FOMO wallets apart from regular ones · EVM apart from SOL · or by importance
Backup bot	/backup in DMs — takes over if your main bot gets limited
2+ bots in one group	If the first is limited, the second keeps sending

The multiple-bots trick works in ~80% of cases. Telegram sometimes limits the whole group rather than one bot — then every bot inside is affected at once.

🆘 Safe Mode to Prevent Group Rate Limits

Telegram recently added new “spam” filters that can rate-limit bots sending messages with many external links in groups.

To help prevent this, we’ve introduced Safe Mode. If your group was recently rate-limited by Telegram, Safe Mode will automatically turn on:

• 🚫 Disables all external links

• 🔹 Removes the # sign before tickers

• ✅ Keeps buttons intact

You can also toggle Safe Mode manually in your groups at any time:

• /safe_on – turn it on

• /safe_off – turn it off
