How to stop the telegram bot from receiving messages for a certain period of time?

Question

Python

Tell me how you can do that if the answer to the question is not correct, the bot would not accept all messages during what period of time, and is it really possible to do this at all

Answer 1

If the answer is incorrect, write the date and time of the answer to the database / session.
On subsequent requests, check the time of the request and the time of the last incorrect response + block time. If the time has not yet come, then simply ignore the request.
Using sleep is not very good.

Answer 2

time.sleep(1) ?
