4 years ago You did nothing wrong.
Waited a few minutes and listed my packs to see, that the 2nd pack wasn't created
When you create a pack, the bot will ask you for the pack title and the pack link - but the pack is actually created only when you send its first sticker (that is, the request to create a new pack is sent to Telegram when the bot receives the pack's first sticker). If Telegram raises an unknown error during the last step of the creation process (after you send the pack's first sticker), the creation fails and the pack is not created. This is exactly what happened - the bot cancels the operation because it doesn't know why Telegram refused its request (in this case, I didn't know about the existence of this error, so the bot simply warned you with the error description and canceled the operation)
I waited a bit and tried again WITHOUT canceling. Then the Bot just kept reposting the stickers as downloadable pictures and the comment "mime type: image/PNG"
After 15 minutes of inactivity, the bot exists the current conversation you were having with it. When this timeout happens, the bot should warn you with a message saying so. Did it send that message? After you exit a conversation (eg. the conversation to create a pack), you return to your "neutral" state, in which the bot will answer to every sticker by sending it back as a png file.
Back to the main issue: Telegram probably refused your request to create a pack because the bot is executing too many requests. This is probably related to how the bot fetches a sticker's emojis, because it uses a tricky way to overcome a Telegram limit by executing a couple of extra requests - and this might enrage Telegram at times. Or maybe it is globally creating too many packs. I need to investigate the issue, thanks for reporting it
In the meantime, I suggest you to wait a couple of hours and try again - or to send the first sticker as png file instead of sending it directly as sticker

Hello,
I just started out with this bot to reduce my sticker library by merging my favorites into a few packs. So far so good. I created one pack and reached the maximum amount of stickers pretty soon. So I created a new pack for the next batch of favs, went through the naming process and then was asked to post the first sticker of the pack. This is what the bot said, when I did:
"Error while trying to create the pack: Flood control exceeded. Retry in 8 seconds. Please try again, or /cancel"
So I canceled. Waited a few minutes and listed my packs to see, that the 2nd pack wasn't created. So I created it again but received the same error message when trying to add the first sticker. I waited a bit and tried again WITHOUT canceling. Then the Bot just kept reposting the stickers as downloadable pictures and the comment "mime type: image/PNG"
What did I do wrong?
