Evergreen Telegram Limits
We keep updating limits.tginfo.me with the most recent Telegram platform updates. The limit for channel statistics was set to 50+ subscribers, also we pointed out there's no limit for pinned messages number.
Thanks to our amazing volunteers, Telegram Limits is now available in 12 languages! Since the project is being translated by the community, there're some delays in delivering translated updates to some abandoned languages.
Join our mission and help translating Telegram Limits.

Proposal to improve behaviour of mobile number change and account deletion for two-factor auth protected accounts
Telegram channel administrators address this message to Pavel Durov
Two-factor authorization serves to protect your account and is requested when you log into your account, as well as transfer channels and bots to another account.
But not all important actions are protected. Two-factor authorization is not required to change a mobile number or delete an account. This creates a huge risk in the physical arrest of a SIM card or phone, substitution of the number at the operator level, detention of the administrator, as well as the seizure of equipment.
Channel administrators ask Pavel Durov to enable additional protection.

How carelessness can lead to channel loss
An administrator of a Telegram channel called «Reddit» reported their channel was stolen by scammers.
The hacking took place with the help of a stealer trojan that simply stole the data of the Telegram client. More details can be found on «Durov's Code» (Russian).
Telegram Info editorial staff strongly recommends to use a local password in Telegram Desktop, to do not download applications and unknown files from people on the Internet.
A local password will not just restrict physical access to your messaging, but will also prevent copying files to steal the current session. Alas, when a full-fledged trojan enters your PC, password will not save you.
If there is an urgent need to download unknown programs, you should use a sandbox.
Also, do not disable Windows Defender, which comes with Windows 10. Doing this doesn't just introduce risks to your security. Contrary to the common myth, for modern PCs disabling this antivirus does not give a performance gain.

Combot swallowed Zuku
The popular chat moderation bot @combot bought @ZukuBot.
Administrators who have used Zuku in their chats have received a newsletter that says the end of user support. Those who pay for Zuku are encouraged to get a 1 year premium subscription to Combot. The question of further work of Zuku will be decided later. Combot currently has 120,000 active groups, while Zuku has only 5,000.
This is the first major purchase of one bot by another, made possible by the emerging transfer of ownership feature in BotFather.
Fedor Skuratov, owner of Combot, said that this acquisition is not the last and further purchases are planned.

Owners of two large bots faced problems
Various factors led to one problem: webhooks on the bot servers could not process the accumulated requests from Telegram.
According to preliminary information, the @FleepBot BotAPI server instance crashed, and for some time it gave 502 to bot requests (the problem is still there). The @ChatKeeperBot webhook could not connect for other reasons.
The ChatKeeperBot support representative added in a dialogue with the editors that this was the case before: “we received only part of all bot messages updates, also there were problems with sending requests”.
