I'm sorry that you're still struggling with (group) import. If you're on fast network connection you might try lowering the speed or using some slower network as I would assume that FloodWaitError
is tied to the size of data over a period of time. Another option is to split JSON to more than one file and try importing in "chunks".
As for the size error, this might be related to different types of chats/channels/groups and/or premium features. You could remove the messages with biggest attachments from JSON to test the theory.
Hi. I have tried to separate the import by years, but, for example, for a size of 40MB, the process fails.
I have no experience in Python programming and I cannot modify the script. Please, Could you modify the script so that the import is done element by element instead of trying to load the entire JSON file?.
I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much.
Best regards.

You should provide more info apart from "...the process fails".

If you're having trouble importing just as small number of messages then there is no point in implementing such changes. Anyway, you can can export to a couple of JSON files by setting the date range while exporting and try, but if it fails for just 40MB of messages/files then we have another issue altogether.
The error is related to FloodWaitError:
telethon.errors.rpcerrorlist.FloodWaitError: A wait of XXX seconds is required (caused by CheckChatInviteRequest).
But this error appears when I use the group invitation link as a peer. If I use the Telegram phone number peer, I am importing all the data. So, I will be doing this for years. Thank you very much for everything.
Best regards.
I've just pushed a version that can handle group ids (starting with -100) so you can try that one. Other than that, you could to check if you're a group admin, or you could make someone else the admin and try importing from that account. It might be that your account/group is under some kinds of restrictions...
I have tested this version, but it doesn't work.

Hi,
I'm trying to import 2.5GB of data from a group chat to a Telegram phone number directly, as this peer wasn't giving me FloodWaitError issues.
But now I'm getting another error:
File exceeds maximum size. Change data exporting settings to download.
Is this a setting that needs to be made in config.ini or is it another error on Telegram's servers due to excess data?
Regards.
