Telegram Bot Issue After cTrader Update – “Bot Sleeping” Error
Telegram Bot Issue After cTrader Update – “Bot Sleeping” Error
29 Apr 2025, 14:44
Hey fellow traders and devs 👋
I’ve been running a Telegram bot integrated with my cTrader cBot for quite a while now — it was working flawlessly to send alerts whenever trades were triggered, signals appeared, etc.
But recently, after what seems to be a new update to cTrader (not sure which exact one, maybe you’ve noticed too?), I started getting this error:
"Telegram bot sleeping, wake it up.."
Now, I haven’t changed anything in my Telegram code or webhook logic. Everything was running smooth before. So I’m starting to wonder — could this be related to the latest cTrader update?
My setup:
cBot uses async HTTP POST to send data to a Telegram bot server
It checks connection state before sending
Alerts are sent from OnBar()
or OnPositionOpened()
based on some internal logic
I’ve tried restarting cTrader, reconnecting the bot, even re-generating the Telegram token — no luck.
If anyone else is experiencing this, or has found a workaround or explanation, I’d really appreciate your input. 🙏 Maybe it's a change in how cTrader handles async tasks or timing?
Let’s help each other out here, especially if you also send alerts to Telegram via cTrader bots.
Cheers
