Bot responds to admin messages but fails on user input with "No response generated"

[jaywulove]

When I send a message to the Telegram bot, it replies with: “No response generated. Try again.” However, when I send a message from the bot’s backend to myself, it works perfectly. What could be causing this issue, and how can I fix it?

could you go in the debug screen and do a fully dump of the data here?

you'll need to enable dev mdoe:

then go to the debug page:

then just copy things like this here:
