How to check payment status every 5 minutes in python in telegram bot, but without time.sleep(), because the whole bot stops

Answer 1

The easiest way is to run the check function in a separate thread. Flow examples here .

Answer 2

If you have a loop where you check for updates in your telegram bot via getUpdates , then you can add this.

import time
check_time = int(time.time())

while True:
    if int(time.time()) - check_time >= 5:
        check_time = int(time.time())
        print('проверяем статус платежа каждые 5 секунд')

Replacing 5 with 300 (5min)
