Many users run into this: the task is clearly running normally, yet it seems to "add only 1 person per round (say, every 10 minutes)". This isn't a software bug — your Telegram account has been temporarily restricted by Telegram itself. Below, a real example walks through what happened, why, and what to do about it.
Here is this task's real execution log. The light bars are the 100 people planned per round; the dark bars are how many were actually added:
Every time a round was stopped, Telegram returned the same error: PeerFloodError. In plain English: "This account has been interacting with strangers too often lately and is temporarily restricted. For now it can basically only interact with people who have added each other as contacts (mutual contacts)."
Think of your Telegram account as a SIM card. If that SIM makes sales calls to hundreds of strangers every day, the carrier soon flags it as a "spam number". From then on, calls to strangers never even ring — they're cut off immediately. Calls to old friends in your contacts still work fine.
Telegram applies the same logic to member invites: adding lots of strangers to groups in a short time is treated as spam. Once the account is flagged, Telegram rejects the request outright no matter how the software retries. The restriction usually lasts from a few hours to a few days, and the harder you push, the longer it lasts.
This is the system protecting your account. Here's what actually happens in each round:
Pause every member invite and DM task on this account and let it rest for at least 24 hours. The PeerFlood restriction lifts on its own, but repeatedly hitting it keeps extending it.
Use the account status check on the "TG accounts" page in TGEgg, or have the account send /start to Telegram's official bot @SpamBot. It will tell you whether the account is restricted and when the restriction ends.
We recommend 10–20 people per round, a few hours between rounds, and at least 60 seconds between people. Newly registered accounts in particular can't handle 100 people per round — better slow than banned.
Accounts that are older, have real chat history and have Telegram Premium get noticeably higher anti-spam thresholds. For important tasks, spread the work across several accounts instead of loading 1,000 people onto one.
No. The restriction is recorded on Telegram's servers, and changing settings only affects future behavior. You have to wait for the restriction to lift on its own (usually a few hours to a few days). Slowing down is so you don't trigger it again afterwards.
If the person being invited is a mutual contact of your account, or has fairly relaxed privacy settings, the invite may still go through. That's why results during a restriction don't drop to zero but trickle in.
No. Targets that haven't been processed stay in the task queue and continue automatically once the account recovers. You can also pause the task and switch to another account to handle the remaining targets.
Three principles: go slow (at least 60 seconds between people), keep volume low (we recommend no more than 30–50 people per account per day), and use strong accounts (older, with real usage history, ideally with Premium). Member invites are inherently high-risk; steady output always gets you to your goal faster than trying to add everyone at once.
