Iterations. How to reduce theys?

Search…
All iterations on Bots.Business are paid. You can choose payment plan with different iterations count.
What it is - "iteration"?
Each payment plan has its own iteration limit.
1 iteration it is:
income message to bot
​Bot.runCommand(command) or Bot.run in the BJS spent 1 iteration
Bot.run with run_after spent 5 iterations
Pressing the keyboard button
Pressing the inline keyboard button
1 Auto Retry - it is 1 iteration
1 received webhook - it is 1 iteration
1 chats in Bot.runAll command - 1 iteration
1 sended message on mass broadcasting - 1 iteration
5 chats on Information refreshing (in Bot dashboard) - spend 1 iteration
100 incoming messages in blocked chat with method Bot.blockChat(chat.id)
​
5 iterations it is:
​CSV import - spend 5 iterations
Git import/export - spend 5 iterations
​
Single command execution - 1 iteration
Iterations are restored every month. Each payment plan has its own iteration limit.
Extra Points
If you do not have enough iterations, Extra Points are spent.
Unused Extra Points remain for the next month.
You can get Extra Points for 💎 BB Points or buy them.
​
How to get more iterations?
You can upgrade your Plan, buy Extra Points or order BB Cloud with unlimited iterations.
​
How to reduce iterations count?
Reduce income messages to bot:
remove it from super groups
remove un useful commands
Reduce Bot.runCommand in BJS
Reduce Auto Retry calls
Beware of endless loops
Use Bot.runCommand, Bot.run, Bot.runAll carefully. 
Example 1
Bad code example. Command /check
Bot.runCommand("/task")
Command /task
...
Bot.runCommand("/check")
...
So we have now scheduled /task in /check. But /task also have run for /check
You will end up in an infinite loop and your iterations will quickly end
Example 2
Bad code example. Command /check
Bot.run(command: "/task", run_after: 60*60)  // 1 hour delay
​
​
Command /task
...
Bot.runCommand("/check")
...
So we have now scheduled /task in /check with delay for 1 hour. But /task also have run for /check
But here we have delay for 1 hour. So we have 1 task per hour (and per user!). Is it good?
No! Because user can run /check command several times. For example 6 times in one minute. You will be have 6 background tasks during 1 hour instead of 1 tasks. Also any users can execute this command for several times.
You will end up in an infinite loop and your iterations will quickly end
Be very careful with Bot.run methods
​
Beware of big loops
Very bad example:
Command check:
var user = options.result.status
User.setProperty("status", user, "string")
if ((user == "member") | (user == "administrator") | (user == "creator")) {
  Bot.runCommand("join2")
  User.addToGroup("user")
}
​
if (user == "left") {
  Bot.sendMessage("*⚠️ Not Joined :- @Kjtricks_Official *")
}
Command join2
var channel = "@MyChanell1"
let id = user.telegramid;
​
Api.getChatMember({ chat_id: channel, user_id: id, on_result: "check2" })
​

Command check2
var user = options.result.status
User.setProperty("status", user, "string")
if ((user == "member") | (user == "administrator") | (user == "creator")) {
  Bot.runCommand("join3")
  User.addToGroup("user")
}
​
if (user == "left") {
  Bot.sendMessage("*⚠️ Not Joined :- @Kjtricks_Official *")
}
and etc!
join1 > check1 > join2 > check2 > ....  join10 >  check10
What is problem?
each Api.getChatMember spent 1 - 3 sec for execution
Bot.runCommand run new BJS immediately!
We have 10 join + 10 check. So it will be 10 - 30 secs per 1 message from 1 user. 
On Nano Cloud second user must wait this 30 secs! Also even Business Cloud is completely down!
each Bot.runCommand burn 1 iterations. We have 20 iterations here!
Fix
Use MCLib​
Use Bot.run with run_after. It run task in background (Users don't have to wait)
Do not use Bot.run in chain. It is not good.
