[Groups unable to use bots] 2017/09/27
Hi everyone. Some of you may know that all bots, not just ours, stopped working in some groups after the major update they released. We have been working with Telegram on the issue and come up with solution to the problem.
Telegram bot developers need to revoke their api tokens to fix the issue. If you are a bot developer please revoke your api token just incase your bot was also impacted in some groups.
If you are in a group where a bot has stopped working please contact the developers of the bot and then ask them to revoke their api token so that the issue can be resolved.
We are aware of 4 groups being impacted by this issue but Telegram says it will impact groups with over 12000000 messages

有些群組的bot不能正常運作, 目前Werewolfbot開發者跟Telegram官方找到一個解法, revoke掉舊的bot token用新的就能解決掉問題. 建議所有的bot開發者更新自己的bot token來避免某些群組遇到bot停止運作的問題. (目前telegram表示這個問題主要影響在有超過1200萬條訊息以上的群組)
PS. Werewolfbot群組管理者無須擔心, 但是bot開發者請注意.

網路上的教學資料, 中文的很少(可參考 @S_ean 的文章)
英文的不少. 但是對於程式語言初心者大部分不友善(因為大部分都會預設你有基礎的程式語言能力)

Our Asian users may have noticed two nasty disruptions in our service in the past week. The Singapore data center we’re using has been causing trouble due to a faulty UPS system. Power losses are something that is never supposed to happen in a data center, so at some point I even thought that this could have been an act of sabotage.
Most likely though, it was “just” a major hardware malfunction. The faulty UPS (Uninterruptible Power Sources) are being replaced by the data center staff as I’m typing this. I hope this will make things right as the absence of power supply is one of the few things we can’t fix by ourselves.
Asia is obviously a huge market for Telegram. However, as you may remember, Telegram is blocked in China – the continent’s largest market – since 2015, when the Chinese human rights activists started using Telegram to communicate.
We didn’t try to get unblocked there by negotiating with the Chinese authorities. It’s pretty obvious that the Chinese government's desire for total control over its population is incompatible with our values. However, Telegram is still available through VPN services, and recently more Chinese users started to join Telegram after their local app WeChat got compromised –

For us this is just another indication that sticking to your principles makes more sense than yielding to pressure. In the long run, compromise based on lies and violations of rights gets you nowhere.
