What is the meaning of the error?
This error usually occurs when users are trying to log into their Telegram account on any device. It is fairly common to receive a ‘limit exceeded, please try again’ error during login for some users. This happens when you log in one too many times. It is a server error that might continue even if you input the correct password.
