You are most wekcome. If you received a notification but the merit count is not correct then you can set your merit count to the correct count by sending this command /setmerit (your total merit). I already added the command to the op. As what I see in the image you provide it seems that it is in correct count. Honestly, It only happened in my telegram once that the count is synchronized where it should be (example your total merit is 83) but the notification in telegram is 81 merits.
Yes bot is working properly, I display the image before getting the current merits count (83). everything went smoothly, as well as notifications when you reply to this post.
