openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: There is a 3–6-minute delay after sending telegram messages. [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The delay in agent response after upgrading to version 2026.05.03 or later may be related to changes in the messaging processing pipeline, and verifying the configuration or logs for any new settings or errors introduced in these versions could help identify the cause.

Guidance

• Review the release notes for versions 2026.05.03 and 2026.05.04 to identify any changes that could affect the messaging pipeline or agent response times.
• Check the logs for any errors or warnings related to the Telegram messaging integration or agent initialization to see if there are any clues about what's causing the delay.
• Compare the configuration settings between the old version (2026.04.23) and the new versions (2026.05.03 and 2026.05.04) to ensure that no critical settings were altered during the upgrade.
• Test the messaging functionality using the OpenClaw control page and compare the response times to identify if the issue is specific to the Telegram integration.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more details on the configuration or the exact changes made during the upgrade.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the Telegram messaging integration, as the OpenClaw control page does not exhibit the same delay. The fact that disabling active memory did not change the behavior suggests that memory management might not be the primary cause of the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the issue is likely related to changes in the newer versions, applying a workaround such as adjusting configuration settings or implementing a temporary fix to reduce the delay might be necessary until a more permanent solution is found.
