[Question]
We’re using Group Channels for discussions, but some have reached the 100-member limit, and we can’t add more users.
Can this limit be increased beyond 100, or is migrating to a Super Group Channel the only option?
If migration is required:
Is there any efficient or bulk way to migrate existing Group Channels to Super Group Channels, instead of recreating them one by one?
How can we retain or migrate past messages and data (message history, metadata, unread counts, etc.) during this process?

We’re unable to add new members to active discussions, and manual migration would be time-consuming given the number of existing channels.
The maximum member limit for a group channel is 100. This is why you were unable to add more members to the channel.
To add more members, you can convert the group channel to a supergroup channel. This can be done easily through the Dashboard by selecting the “Change to Supergroup” option, as shown below:
