# Bot kicked · bot.kicked

Canonical page: https://errorgram.rmbk.me/errors/bot.kicked/

**Stable ID:** `bot.kicked` · **Evidence:** source derived

The bot was removed or banned from the chat.

The response does not identify who removed the bot or guarantee that rejoining is currently allowed.

## When it matches

Every field in a rule must match. Alternative rules are joined with OR.
Codes below are JSON response fields, not inferred HTTP statuses.

### Rule 1

- JSON `error_code`: **403**.

Exact description:

```text
Forbidden: bot was kicked from the group chat
```

### Rule 2

- JSON `error_code`: **403**.

Exact description:

```text
Forbidden: bot was kicked from the supergroup chat
```

### Rule 3

- JSON `error_code`: **403**.

Exact description:

```text
Forbidden: bot was kicked from the channel chat
```

See [matching rules](https://errorgram.rmbk.me/matching/) for parameter precedence
and unknown or ambiguous results.

**Illustrative methods:** `sendMessage`, `deleteMessage`.

## Possible causes

- An active group records the bot as kicked.
- The supergroup or channel membership status is banned.

## Before deciding what to do

**Application decision:** restore bot membership.
**Repeat request:** after access change.

- An authorized chat administrator must restore the bot’s access before the application resumes the operation.

These are application choices. Errorgram does not retry, suppress the error,
or change bot state.

## Facts

This condition adds no extracted facts; `result.facts` is empty.

## Example

Synthetic examples derived from the cited source.

API method: `sendMessage`.

```json
{
  "ok": false,
  "error_code": 403,
  "description": "Forbidden: bot was kicked from the group chat"
}
```

### Python

```python
from errorgram import classify

response = {
    "ok": False,
    "error_code": 403,
    "description": "Forbidden: bot was kicked from the group chat",
}
result = classify(response, method='sendMessage')

assert result.id == 'bot.kicked'
print(result.entry["summary"])
```

### JavaScript and TypeScript

```ts
import { classify } from "errorgram";

const response = {
  "ok": false,
  "error_code": 403,
  "description": "Forbidden: bot was kicked from the group chat"
};
const result = classify(response, { method: "sendMessage" });

if (result.status === "matched" && result.id === "bot.kicked") {
  console.log(result.entry.summary);
}
```
