Make.com + Telegram bot. Clear error data

What are you trying to achieve?

Hello everyone!
I’m trying to create a bot in Telegram. I created the bot via @BotFather. Then, I’m implementing all the bot’s logic in Make.com.
I ran into a very frustrating problem.

The first module is Telegram Bot > Watch updates. I enter the token, create the connection. Then I add the next module: Telegram Bot > Send a text message or a reply. I set a simple response to any message — everything works.

Then I change something in the Send a text message or a reply module (no metter what in that case). I run the scenario again and get an error. Okay, I did something wrong — it happens. I roll back the changes, run the scenario again, select “process new request” — but I still get the same error.

After a long struggle, I did this:
I deleted the bot and created a new one, deleted the token, the webhook, and the connection. I created a new scenario. Everything works. I fixed the issue that caused the original error. Everything is fine, the bot works, so I continue.

I add a Router module. Then I add another Send a text message or a reply module. I configure it — everything works. Then I complicate the logic and reconfigure the second Send a text message or a reply module — and I get the other error again.

I roll back the scenario settings to a previously working state, but I still get the same error no matter which requests I process — old or new.

I start looking for a solution. I can’t just keep recreating bots and scenarios every time an error happens.
I found out how to delete a webhook and set a new one, but that doesn’t help.
I still haven’t found a way to solve this problem. Please help.

First of all, I made an error in my description. There are two trigger modules for working with the Telegram bot: Telegram Bot. Watch updates and Telegram Bot. List Updates. Functionally they are the same but they work using different technologies to communicate with the bot. So I initially used the Telegram Bot. List Updates node and that’s exactly what the problem was related to. After I replaced the node with Telegram Bot. Watch updates everything started working normally. I still sometimes make mistakes when building scenarios, but now I can fix them in the same scenario and continue working. Another interesting point is that make.com doesn’t offer the Telegram Bot. Watch updates node in the list and I had to get it from templates.
