This usually means your bot is running in more than one place — only one getUpdates call can run at a time. Try stopping other instances, or switch to webhooks instead.

We had the same issue while building Telegram bots for Web3 projects. Switching to webhook mode fixed it smoothly.

If you're working on Telegram + Web3 stuff, feel free to check out what we're building at https://telbox.io — smart contracts, Solana tools, and bots. Always happy to connect!
