telethon.errors.rpcerrorlist.BotMethodInvalidError

[dhpour]

I simply tried this like before

client.get_messages("channel_username")

but this new error is thrown:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Bots cannot get message history.

I made a raw telegram client not a bot. get_message_history works well, get_message of the newer telethon versions also worked for a while but now it raises this error. I cannot understand the logic behind it.

[Lonami]

get_message_history doesn't exist. get_messages works fine for users. Bots can't use it. The session file in use is running a bot account. There is no issue or bug.
