When you're using raw API, Telethon can do nothing to fix it, as the issue comes from Telegram. This belongs better in Stack Overflow https://stackoverflow.com/q/68685599.

On the telegram website, this method is described as messages.report # bd82b658 peer: InputPeer id: Vector reason: ReportReason = Bool; and takes 3 parameters

telethon.tl.functions.messages.ReportRequest also accepts a message .

Maybe this is the problem?

This is the kind of check that fixed the situation, I'm not a very experienced programmer and it took me 3 hours to do it

chat = await client.get_entity(int(g)) if chat.migrated_to: g = chat.migrated_to.channel_id

I get this error from time to time, it looks like my client sends to different groups

ChannelPrivateError: The channel specified is private and you lack permission to access it. Another reason may be that you were banned from it (caused by GetChannelsRequest)
