[Telegram] sendTelegramQuery: Query not sent after "long pause"

[SHU-red]

Expected Behavior

• Im executing a rule for each day at 9am to check if my vacuum robot has to clean
• After 3 Days, i should get a query for asking me to vacuum

Current Behavior

• For some reason everything is executed as it should (that means the whole code before and after), but no telegram-message is sent and frontail does not show error messages
• If i then change the script for testing purpose to the current time plus some minutes it gets executed properly
• This gives me "the feeling" that the query is only not sent if there was a long duration before, where no message has been sent
• I already tested it with specifying and with not specifying a specific ChatID (as in the code example below) --> same behavior

I hope there is no error on my side, but the fact that exactly this code is working after i re-set the time value for testing purposes tells me that i did not make errors in coding ... hopefully

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for Bugs)

1. Do nothing and wait for the rule to execute in 3 days at 9am

Context

rule "Check for cleaning request"
when
Time cron "0 0 9 * * ?"
then
logInfo("VACUUM", "CHECK FOR CLEANING REQUEST")

// if exactly three days are gone
if (dVac1_last_clean_days.state == 3){

    // notification
    val telegramAction = getActions("telegram","telegram:telegramBot:mybot)
    telegramAction.sendTelegramQuery("<b> &#129529; Shall i clean up? &#129529; </b>\n\nLast time was " + dVac1_last_clean_days.state.toString + " days ago!","oh_esme_sweep","Sweep","No Action")

    // Specified with chatID but same result as without
    // telegramAction.sendTelegramQuery(-123456789L,"<b> &#129529; Shall i clean up? &#129529; </b>\n\nLast time was " + dVac1_last_clean_days.state.toString + " days ago!","oh_esme_sweep","Sweep","No Action"

    // Other code getting executed properly

    logInfo("VACUUM", "CLEANING REQUEST ADDED TO LOGLIST")
}

end

Can you confirm this problem still exists on openHAB 4.2.0 ?

If so, can you provide a log with the rules, slightly adapted with extra logging:

rule "Check for cleaning request"
when
Time cron "0 0 9 * * ?"
then
logInfo("VACUUM", "CHECK FOR CLEANING REQUEST")

// if exactly three days are gone
if (dVac1_last_clean_days.state == 3){
    logInfo("VACUUM", "SENDING CLEANING REQUEST")

    val telegramAction = getActions("telegram","telegram:telegramBot:mybot)
    telegramAction.sendTelegramQuery("<b> &#129529; Shall i clean up? &#129529; </b>\n\nLast time was " + dVac1_last_clean_days.state.toString + " days ago!","oh_esme_sweep","Sweep","No Action")

    logInfo("VACUUM", "CLEANING REQUEST ADDED TO LOGLIST")
} else {
    logInfo("VACUUM", "NO SENDING A REQUEST DAYS SINCE LAST CLEAN :" + dVac1_last_clean_days.state)
}

end
