Polling error when running

[bicep]

When running node index.js, one gets the following error:

error: [polling_error] {"code":"ETELEGRAM","message":"ETELEGRAM: 409 Conflict: terminated by other getUpdates request; make sure that only one bot instance is running"}

Possibly because it is currently being deployed? Also, when I actually type /start in telegram CoderBot does not reply.

@bicep You are right
Only one instance of bot can be active at one time ,with its own Token
[you may generate a temporary token of yours from BotFather

Regarding the /start , Its sending replies slowly
I guess there is an error with the deployment.
I will look into it
[Meanwhile you can debug the bot with your own token ]

Thanks for telling me about that 👍

@Bhupesh-V How does one generate a temporary token with Botfather? All the tutorials only show how to get a new token for a new bot, but not a temporary one for an existing bot.

Hey @bicep You may generate a new token
It will work fine for the local instance of the Bot

Hi @Bhupesh-V There's no way for me to generate a token because I do not own CoderBot. Only you can do that I think (perhaps I'm wrong on this).

Perhaps you can generate a new token for me to work on..?
