Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Telegram’s Bot API repository has logged a developer report that ordinary bots stopped sending HTML widgets at around 15:50 UTC on November 13, failing with an INPUT_MEDIA_WIDGET_NOT_ALLOWED error after roughly 120 widgets had been delivered in the same bot chat. A repository contributor confirmed that regular bots are currently barred from using widgets even in private conversations, though no reason or restoration timeline was given. The restriction matters because widgets are a display feature many bots rely on for formatted messages, and the lack of a stated expiry leaves developers unable to plan workarounds. Watch for an official Telegram response clarifying whether the block is a temporary API regression or a permanent policy change.
