Comment for Issue #10377:

Workaround Found: Disable Streaming

I was experiencing duplicate outbound messages (my replies appearing twice in Telegram), which may be related to this issue.

Environment:

  • OpenClaw v2026.3.2
  • Channel: Telegram

Solution: Disable streaming in config:

{
  "channels": {
    "telegram": {
      "streamMode": "off"
    }
  },
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "blockStreamingDefault": "off"
    }
  }
}

Then restart gateway: openclaw gateway restart

Result: No duplicate messages after disabling streaming. This suggests the issue is related to the preview/block streaming feature causing message duplication during send/edit operations.

Note: This workaround addresses outbound message duplication. The original issue mentions inbound duplication — these may be related to the same streaming mechanism.
