In fact, no one really knows how the user count for Bots are calculated or considered. I’ve seen discussions saying that it is the MAU (Monthly Active Users) count.
But, as far as I know many developers have already reported being counts are being in-accurate.
Apart from that, you cannot modify or hide the users count from your end – it’s solely up on Telegram. So, don’t be stressed – may be Telegram team provides clarification or further info on this later.
Hope this helps.
The bot users are calculated by month, so the number will not update until the users have used it for at least one month. If you want to hide them, delete the bot and telegram will let you create it with the same username instantly. This will reset the monthly user count. Has been working great for me. Hope this helps
