"Sorry, you are not allowed to use this bot"

I got the keys and installed everything, but whenever I write in the bot I created for this case I get the message "Sorry, you are not allowed to use this bot. You can check out the source code at https://github.com/n3d1117/chatgpt-telegram-bot" in telegram and "User @MY_USERNAME is not allowed to use the bot" in the powershell. How can I fix it?

Make sure you gave yourself access in the .env file. There are several options:

• remove the line ALLOWED_TELEGRAM_USER_IDS... or set it to ="*" => both options will give everybody access to your bot
• add your telegram user ID to ALLOWED_TELEGRAM_USER_IDS => this will give only you access
• add your telegram user ID to ADMIN_USER_IDS => this will give you unlimited access

Thank you so much, that worked.
