Larvabot's cap
Nothing to cap: rate limits just hand the job to the next provider.Fallback position
Works on its own, outside the fallback chains.What it does
Larvabot connects to your own Telegram account through Telegram's official API and reads recent messages in your groups. It never sends, joins or reacts.
- Reading new messages in your groups about once an hour
- Filing the ones that look like someone asking for what a project does, with a drafted reply
Get set up
- Sign in at my.telegram.org → API development tools and create an app
- Copy api_id and api_hash into Settings → Telegram groups
- Click Connect with a QR code and scan it with Telegram on your phone (Settings → Devices → Link Desktop Device)
Where it goes
In the dashboard, open Settings and find the Telegram groups (read-only) section. Secret values are encrypted before they're saved and only their last four characters are ever shown again.
Settings → Telegram groups (read-only)

Staying free
Read-only by design. The session is stored encrypted, and you can disconnect from Settings at any time.
How the quota guard works →Larva tip
Never share your api_hash or session. Anyone with both can read your Telegram account.
Fallback order
Telegram groups isn't part of a fallback chain. It does one job and does it alone.
