    as you can read in this link:

    Can I count on file_ids to be persistent?

    For the moment, file_ids for your bot’s outgoing files may be recycled
    after several thousand files have been sent. This may be changed in
    the future. Inbound file_ids can be treated as persistent.

    so if you send a file from your server to telegram user (over the bot), the returned file_id can’t be permanent. you can forward the file from user to bot and save file_id instead of that.
