[duplicate-issues]

Hey @SiavashJafari,

We did a quick check and this issue looks very darn similar to

• #1293 - [QUESTION] Can't login (Checkpoint challenge required/Not possible to log in)
• #1290 - [error 400] send_photo direct
• #1289 - [BUG] Failed to save checkpoint when change base_path

This could be a coincidence, but if any of these issues solves your problem then I did a good job 😄

If not, the maintainers will get to this issue shortly.

Cheers,
