"I was not aware about the news channel. Now it all makes sense. The wave of "userbots" becomes less by now, so now I see your point. It's the real users which seen the bot in the news channel and checking it quickly out of curiosity.
We can close the issue, I guess.
Sorry for bothering you with my paranoia and thanks for explanations!"

"Thanks for the detailed response!
Indeed, there were requests from Telegramic Robot at 20:39. Right after it, at 20:41, started the flood of userbots. 2-3 new user per hour.
It seems like stolen accounts of real users. They behave like bots: send lots of commands at the same time. And the flood continues steadily since then.
I'm sure it's related somehow to the fact that I published the bot here.
Maybe someone monitors telegramic and directs his bots to new bots? If so, you can notice the monitoring service in your logs.
I understand that you cannot help here. But I think you should know that such thing exists.
Also wondering if other bot authors experienced this?"

[Problem]
"Hi there,
I've submitted a bot and after this random userbots started test my bot (about 2-3 per hour).
I think it's ok to test a bot initially. But why continue it? will it ever stop?
if not, maybe there is a way to distinguish these test userbots from the real users, so I can filter them out in my logs and stats?"
