Telegram polling stops working after the first incoming message is processed. The agent responds to the first message, but subsequent messages from the same Telegram chat fail to generate a reply, with the agent getting stuck in "typing" status or the message simply never being sent.

Root Cause

Telegram polling stops working after the first incoming message is processed. The agent responds to the first message, but subsequent messages from the same Telegram chat fail to generate a reply, with the agent getting stuck in "typing" status or the message simply never being sent.

Summary

Telegram polling stops working after the first incoming message is processed. The agent responds to the first message, but subsequent messages from the same Telegram chat fail to generate a reply, with the agent getting stuck in "typing" status or the message simply never being sent.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Perform a full system restart of the Mac Mini.
  2. Wait for OpenClaw Gateway to fully start (running via LaunchAgent).
  3. Send a message to the bot from Telegram (Message #1).
    • Result: The bot processes the message and replies successfully.
  4. Send a second message to the bot from Telegram (Message #2).
    • Expected: The bot processes the message and replies.
    • Actual: The bot gets stuck in "typing" status or the connection appears dead. The bot fails to reply to the second message.

Expected behavior

still has reponse after first message.

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by investigating and resolving the potential connection or session management issue that causes the Telegram polling to stop working after the first incoming message is processed.

Guidance

  • Investigate the session management and connection handling in the OpenClaw Gateway to ensure that it properly maintains the connection after the first message is processed.
  • Verify the API gateway and Gemini provider configuration to ensure that they are not causing the connection to be terminated or stuck after the first message.
  • Check for any resource leaks or timeouts that might be causing the agent to get stuck in the "typing" status.
  • Test the OpenClaw Gateway with a different provider or model to isolate the issue and determine if it's specific to the Gemini provider or a more general problem.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more information about the OpenClaw Gateway implementation.

Notes

The issue might be related to the specific configuration or implementation of the OpenClaw Gateway, API gateway, or Gemini provider. More information about the logs, screenshots, and evidence would be helpful to provide a more accurate diagnosis.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by modifying the OpenClaw Gateway to restart or re-establish the connection after a certain period of inactivity or when a message fails to be sent. This can help mitigate the issue until a more permanent fix can be implemented.
