TimedOutError: RPCError -503: Timedout (caused by GetChannelDifferenceRequest)

[25gabriel-cmyk]

I am running TGCF on my Ubuntu 22.04. Lately, I have been encountering the following error, which causes TGCF to keep pausing : TimedOutError: RPCError -503: Timedout (caused by GetChannelDifferenceRequest)

I think the problem is on the Telethon session, here's the last log :

@25gabriel-cmyk @nmaiti @Matt3oV @aahnik

I am also facing exact error !

@25gabriel-cmyk have you got any solution to this error?

[MobCode100]

Can this error be reproduced?

Update Telethon to the latest version, it was fixed there.

Since I also run into this problem, I do "pip install --upgrade telethon" to update telethon to 1.33.0, however it show this error : ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts. tgcf 1.1.8 requires Telethon==1.26.0, but you have telethon 1.33.0 which is incompatible. and it downgrade telethon back to 1.26.0 when i do "pip install --upgrade tgcf" please kindly reply if this a error or not

[poliandro]

After you update telethon, don't run "pip install --upgrade tgcf", because it will downgrade again telethon.

I am using the latest version ie. Telethon 1.33.1.

Still getting the sane error again and again.
