Fix: Telegram Userbot Session Expired

Fix userbot authentication issues. MTProto session renewal, 2FA verification, and flood wait errors.

Telegram MTProto sessions can expire for a few reasons: too many concurrent sessions, password change, or Telegram's server pruning idle sessions.

Confirm the symptoms

  • Dashboard shows "Disconnected" with "Session expired" subtext.
  • Userbot commands silently ignored.
  • Telegram โ†’ Settings โ†’ Devices shows fewer sessions than expected.

30-second quick fix

  • Re-authenticate from dashboard with SMS code + 2FA.

Root causes

  1. 1. Too many concurrent sessions

    Telegram caps active MTProto sessions per account.

    • Drop unused sessions in Telegram โ†’ Settings โ†’ Devices.
  2. 2. 2FA password change

    Changing 2FA invalidates existing sessions.

    • Re-authenticate with new password.
  3. 3. Long idle period

    Sessions inactive for weeks can be pruned.

    • Re-authenticate.
  4. 4. Manual termination

    If you tapped "Terminate" in Telegram โ†’ Devices on the userbot session.

    • Re-authenticate.

  3. 3
