Thank you bro. I followed your guide and my bot is working for free now. before my bot's code was uploaded in hostinger but after few weeks it stop working and needed to setup again. I hope pythonanywhere is good and bot won't stop.

Hey I also made a bot for telegram but that stops after I closed by tab

[@srinivaschada1575]

​@@prakhardoneria which type of bot

[@dadudle]

super helpful thank you👍

[@percysimpson1777]

It is not 24x7. The bot stops after 24 hours (sometimes a bit longer maybe 2 days but it it eventually stops). Then we need to rerun the script in terminal again to restart the bot. This loop goes on. I had a bot deployed there. The bot does not stop the same time everyday, so I do not know when it will stop. I got complains from users that my bot is not running, then I would restart the bot. After few days, I moved on to other platform.

[@Noir-Road]

Which platform you ended up using ? I had the same problem and just keep restarting my bot after 2-3 days

[@percysimpson1777]

@@Noir-Road I then moved to mogenius. It's the best platform I found after Heroku had ended their free tier. But they are also ending their free tier on March 31 of this year. So, I am searching for a new platform now.

Can you tell me how you send the user message to pythonanywhere script?

Hello, good morning, can you please share the code of that bot?

Can you show discord? Telegram isn't popular in Poland

[@TheJackimaru]

How would you hide the Bot Token? I assume using .env files, but you would still have to upload the env file to this website

[@oleksandrpypenko1052]

Hi, i just uploaded a separate .env file. It says in pythonanywhere policies that only you have an access to the files you uploaded and only admins could access the files with your written permission

[@thememoreablesunforgettabl5446]

Just regenerate it after showing it
