Manage the read state of multiple chats in a single request.
Two bulk actions are supported, controlled by the operation field in the request body:

read_status_update- Manage the read status of multiple chats in a single request. This is particularly useful for keeping your chat list organized and up-to-date, especially when you have a large number of conversations.
clear_unread - Clears the unread message count or status to zero for the specified chats. If a specified chat has no unread entries, it is silently skipped.

Threshold limits: 60 requests per min
Number of API calls allowed within a minute.

Lock periods: 5 minutes
Wait time before consecutive API requests.
