Any way to prevent the user from making many touches to a button or command?

[juankstylez]

If I make 1000 clicks or touches to a button or command the bot will respond 1000 times.

Any way to limit this so that the user, for example, can only do it every 5 seconds?

class CheckSpamMiddleware 
{
    public function __invoke(Nutgram $bot, $next) 
    {
        // Get the last request time
        $lastRequest = $bot->getUserData($bot->userId());
        
        // If the last request was within the last 5 seconds
        if ($lastRequest && time() - $lastRequest < 5) {
            // Return an error
            return $bot->sendMessage('Too many requests. Please try again later.');

            // Or simply return to end script execution;
            return;
        }
        
        // Set the last request time
        $bot->setUserData($bot->userId(), time());

        $next($bot);
    }
}

$bot = new Nutgram('token');

$bot->middleware(CheckSpamMiddleware::class);

// ...

$bot->run();

The middleware works, but the problem is that if the user continues pressing the button or command many more times, the middleware keeps responding to the 1000 clicks that the user made to the button or command.

Is there any way to stop the user? So that the bot cannot receive their requests for a certain time and thus avoid filling the Telegram server with too many requests?

just send your "stop spamming" message only once

Unfortunately, Telegram does not have such a feature.
All user requests are sent.
The only thing that can be done is not to send a response to the user's request (which I mentioned above, instead of sending a message, just ‍‍return to stop the execution of the script and not send a message to the user)

        // ....
        

        if ($lastRequest && time() - $lastRequest < 5) {
            // simply return to end script execution;
            return;
        }

        // ...

Improved middleware:

class CheckSpamMiddleware 
{
    public function __invoke(Nutgram $bot, $next) 
    {
        $key = $bot->userId();

        // Get the last request time & other values
        [$lastRequest, $isMessageAlreadySent] = $bot->getUserData($key);
        
        // If the last request was within the last 5 seconds
        if ($lastRequest && time() - $lastRequest < 5) {

            // If no message has been sent, send a message once
            if (!$isMessageAlreadySent) {
                $bot->setUserData($key, [$lastRequest, true]);
                return $bot->sendMessage('Too many requests. Please try again later.');
            }

            // Simply return to end script execution;
            return;
        }
        
        // Set the last request time & other values
        $bot->setUserData($key, [time(), false]);

        $next($bot);
    }
}
