Why Telegram members drop and what a refill is
Every channel's member counter shrinks over time: people unsubscribe, Telegram removes some accounts as inactive or spam, some get blocked by their owners. This applies to organic and purchased members alike. The only difference is that after a purchase the drop is more visible because it starts from a single date.
Three causes of drop
- Unsubscribes. A member opened the channel, found nothing useful and left. Only content and a pinned navigation post fix this.
- Telegram clean-ups. Accounts that stay inactive for long are marked deleted and disappear from every channel at once; Telegram periodically runs mass clean-ups and counters dip everywhere.
- Members added via a public link. Participants added through an open channel link are more often caught by such clean-ups than those who joined via an invite link. That is why Premium members and the 60-day guarantee offer require an invite link.
What a refill is
A refill is a top-up: if the counter drops after the order is delivered, we add members back up to the ordered quantity. Refill applies for the period stated on the offer and is not a refund. No-refill offers do not compensate drops: that is exactly why they are cheaper.
| Goal | Offer | Why |
|---|---|---|
| The counter must hold for months | Channel members, 60-day refill | Drops topped up for 60 days, invite-link order |
| Raise the number fast and cheaply | Channel members, with refill | Base price, refill on drops |
| A one-off number for a group | Group members, no refill | Cheaper, no drop compensation |
| Volume from 100,000 | Bulk from 100,000 | Lowest price per 1,000, no refill |
How to reduce drop yourself
- Order via an invite link and create a new link for every order.
- Post regularly: a silent channel loses both real and added members faster.
- Do not order many times your organic volume: a sharp jump followed by a sharp drop is visible to readers and advertisers.
