telegram bot not send photo

I am facing an issue with my Telegram bot, which has been working perfectly for almost a year now. As of this morning, whenever I try to send a photo through the bot, I am encountering the following error:

Bad Request: not enough rights to send photos to the chat

I would like to emphasize that I have not made any changes to the bot’s code or settings recently. It was working fine until yesterday. I am not sure what could be causing this issue all of a sudden.

Has anyone else experienced this issue before? Any guidance on how to resolve this error would be greatly appreciated. I am stuck and do not know what to do to fix this problem.

Thank you in advance for your help!

The bot is supposed to send photos to a specific chat, and it has the necessary permissions to do so (or at least, it used to have). I have checked the bot’s settings in Telegram, and everything seems to be in order.

    Similar problems began this morning. I use pyTelegramBotAPI

    UPD: Seems like Telegram Bot API is having trouble, potentially due to an upcoming update, and responds with a "not enough rights" error to many API calls.

    Be assured this is temporary. Your bots should be back in operation once they fix the issue.

    According to this discussion it’s a widespread server-side problem and has nothing to do with your bot config. I’m afraid, all we can do is wait for it to be fixed.

    It also happens to me in Python.

    Yesterday it was working well, but it seems on 31 October 2023 the issue has begun.

    It is not related with your code, but something in Telegram side. Let’s hope they fix it quickly
