## Built-in Protection Engines

      

Telegram webhooks can experience sudden surges in traffic during mass marketing campaigns or spam attacks. Botlify employs multi-tier traffic filtering:

      
        
- Per-IP & Per-User Throttling: Spammers sending more than 30 messages per second from a single chat are automatically queued or dropped.

        
- Cloudflare DDoS Shielding: High-bandwidth volumetric attacks are absorbed before reaching backend PHP workers.

        
- Memory Isolation: Memory limits (128 MB per request) prevent runaway scripts from affecting other bots on the node.
