Telegram Account Limited? Appeal It Through @SpamBot
If you can still log in but Telegram is blocking you from messaging non-contacts or joining groups, your account is limited — not banned or deleted. This page decodes why limits happen, what each restriction means, and exactly how to appeal it through Telegram's own @SpamBot. Owner-only: this is for appealing limits on the account you personally control.

How likely is a successful appeal?

If it's a limit, submit an honest appeal and wait for review — if it turns out to be a full ban or a deleted account, use the matching guide above instead.
