Always-on tasks error

I have deployed my Telegram bot on this service, and it works correctly. However, after setting up an (Always-on tasks) to ensure that the bot restarts automatically in case of server reboots, I am encountering errors, and the bot starts to behave incorrectly. How can I resolve this issue? (My English is not very good, so I apologize.)

Do you have another copy of your bot running, perhaps in a console or a scheduled task? That error is saying that there are two copies running.

No, I don't have any other versions running. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I uploaded the files and started the application through the console using python bot.py. It worked, and in tasks, I set up the same task python3 /home/den1s/ArtLikes3DHub/bot.py Or do I need to write a separate script that will handle the auto-start and specify the path to it? Sorry for the silly questions.

Do you see the script listed in a table when you click on "Fetch processes" button on the consoles page? If so, that means you had the script running in the console and in the task.
