openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: Telegram messages from bot disappear after delivery — regression in 2026.4.27 (upgrade from 4.15) [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Downgrade to OpenClaw version 2026.4.15 to potentially resolve the issue of intermittently disappearing bot messages in Telegram DM.

Guidance

• Verify that the issue is indeed related to the upgrade by testing with different versions of OpenClaw to confirm the regression.
• Investigate the changes in message edit/delete operations during streaming cleanup between versions 2026.4.15 and 2026.4.27 to identify potential causes.
• Check how message IDs are tracked and handled in both versions to see if there are any differences that could lead to message disappearance.
• Test the bot in other environments or channels to determine if the issue is specific to Telegram DM or macOS Darwin 24.6.0.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more information on the internal workings of OpenClaw, but reviewing the changelog or commit history between versions 2026.4.15 and 2026.4.27 may offer insights into what changes could be causing the issue.

Notes

The exact cause of the disappearing messages is uncertain and may require further investigation into the specifics of OpenClaw's message handling and the Telegram API. This guidance is based on the information provided and may not apply if other factors are at play.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Downgrade to version 2026.4.15 until the root cause can be identified and fixed in a future version of OpenClaw, as this version is known to work as expected.
