session.session file is created though, running tg-archive --build gives

Do I need to paste the group ID with "@" in the yaml file?
This is my yaml file, do I need to edit something?:

Do I need to paste the group ID with "@" in the yaml file?

No, the just the group ID is enough. eg: fossunited

The phone number is invalid (caused by SendCodeRequest)

Looks like you are specifying an invalid phone number, so clearly the OTP auth + actual session creation has not happened. Delete the session file and try again with a country code prefixed phone number. eg: +91123456789.

Thank you!
Got there indeed the country code was the mistake, was typing the country code and pasting the rest.
It went ahead, and send the verification code in Telegram. When I run tg-archive --sync
The errors are now:
