I set up 3 Python Scripts for a telegram bot.

One is a lib which defines used methods:

import requests

import json

import configparser as cfg



class telegram_chatbot():



    def __init__(self, config):

    self.token = self.read_token_from_config_file(config)

    self.base = "https://api.telegram.org/bot{}/".format(self.token)



    def get_updates(self, offset=None):

    url = self.base + "getUpdates?timeout=100"

    if offset:

        url = url + "&offset={}".format(offset + 1)

    r = requests.get(url)

    return json.loads(r.content)



    def send_message(self, msg, chat_id):

    url = self.base + "sendMessage?chat_id={}&text={}".format(chat_id, msg)

    if msg is not None:

        requests.get(url)



    def read_token_from_config_file(self, config):

    parser = cfg.ConfigParser()

    parser.read(config)

    return parser.get('creds', 'token')

The second one listens for user input and then responds a message:

from bot import telegram_chatbot

import csv



bot = telegram_chatbot("config.cfg")



print("bot started...")



def make_reply(msg):

    reply = ""

    if msg is not None and msg == "/naechsteaufgabe":

        string = ", "

        with open("Marketing-Plan.csv", "r") as csvfile:

            reader = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter = ";")

            next(reader)

            for row in reader:

                if row[6] != "erledigt":

                    string = string.join(row)

                    reply = string

                    return reply



    elif msg is not None and msg == "/hilfe":

        reply = "text"

        return reply



    if msg is not None and msg == "/aufgaben":

        with open("Marketing-Plan.csv", "r") as csvfile:

            reader = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter = ";")

            next(reader)

            list = [x for x in reader if x[6] == "mussnoch"]

            string = ""

            for entry in list:

                string = string + " ".join(entry) + "n"

            reply = string

            if reply == "" or reply == None:

                reply = "Error"

                return reply

            return reply





update_id = None

while True:

    updates = bot.get_updates(offset=update_id)

    updates = updates["result"]

    if updates:

        for item in updates:

            update_id = item["update_id"]

            try:

                message = str(item["message"]["text"])

            except:

                message = None

            from_ = item["message"]["chat"]["id"]

            reply = make_reply(message)

            bot.send_message(reply, from_)

and the third script should create a message and send it in a group every 24h:

import time

from bot import telegram_chatbot

import csv

bot = telegram_chatbot("config.cfg")



starttime=time.time()



def make_reminder():

    with open("Marketing-Plan.csv", "r") as csvfile:

        string = ", "

        reader = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter = ";")

        next(reader)

        for row in reader:

            if row[6] != "erledigt":

                string = string.join(row)

                return string





while True:

    bot.send_message(make_reminder(), "somechatid")

    print("tick")

    time.sleep(86400.0 - ((time.time() - starttime) % 86400.0))

These scripts run on my Ubuntu 16.04 webserver, but after some time (~24h) the scripts seem to stop, because the bot doesnt respond to user input anymore.

How and why does this happen? How do i change this so the bot works 24/7?
