OpenClaw Agents Become Unresponsive After Week 1: Telegram Integration Issues?

A Reddit user on r/openclaw reports a troubling pattern: after a first week where OpenClaw agents were "magic" and automation felt like a "cheat code," by week two agents become completely unresponsive. Sending tasks via Telegram yields no response—"total radio silence." A restart sometimes helps for a bit, then the problem returns.

Key Details from the Post

• First week: agents worked flawlessly, automating tasks effectively.
• Second week: agents stop responding to Telegram messages. User has to restart to get them working again, but it's temporary.
• The user speculates whether this is a Telegram integration issue or something deeper with long-term agent runtime stability.
• No specific error messages or logs mentioned—just unresponsiveness.

What to Check

Based on the symptoms, consider these troubleshooting steps:

• Check Telegram bot token and webhook settings—maybe the connection drops after some idle time.
• Look at OpenClaw agent logs for crashes or memory leaks that could cause the agent process to hang.
• Ensure the host system has enough resources (CPU/RAM) for sustained agent operation.
• Try using a different communication channel (e.g., direct API calls) to isolate if it's Telegram-specific.
• Test with a fresh agent after a clean restart to see if the issue is related to accumulated state.
