What to watch out for
This is a technical tool, so expect a learning curve and ongoing setup and maintenance. Automating WeChat may conflict with the platform's rules, and accounts can face restrictions, so use it responsibly and at your own risk. Because it is open-source, terms, dependencies, and compatibility can change, so follow the project repository for current details. Test thoroughly in a safe environment before running anything against a live account. Free tiers and usage limits can change, so check the current rules on the official page before relying on it long term. Processing speed depends on file size and network conditions, so retry later if a task stalls during peak hours.
