Hi, I have a telegram bot code in which you enter a number, and it counts down from that number to zero.
I need to create a queue to execute the count_to_zero function, so that if another number is recorded during the operation of the function, the bot will send a message that the number has been added to the queue, and the number is in the list, after which it counted the old one, then waited 5 seconds and started counting the new one.
I tried to write using manuals and examples, but I failed because of the asynchrony of the function
