Checklist

• The error is in the library's code, and not in my own.
• I have searched for this issue before posting it and there isn't an open duplicate.
• I ran pip install -U https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Telethon/archive/v1.zip and triggered the bug in the latest version.

_updates_queue shouldn't grow forever, unless your handlers are taking too long. Is that the case?

If the handlers aren't being called fast enough, the only other thing the library could do is drop updates, but that won't work for everyone.

[v2boardbot]

I didn't add any event_handlers.
2024-05-23 05:37:52,205 _updates_queue = 0 ; client ram : 38.38MB
2024-05-23 05:37:52,205 _updates_queue = 123 ; client ram : 147.94MB

Is there a direct relationship between the size of _updates_queue and memory?

It seemed like there was from your first post. But if you periodically clear the queue and memory continues to increase, then I guess not.

I don't need to receive new messages, and my application will actively request the Telegram server when needed. Can I delete it?
