docs: Use this method to receive incoming updates using long polling.
  
      .. note::
  
          1. This method will not work if an outgoing webhook is set up.
          2. In order to avoid getting duplicate updates, recalculate offset after each server response.
  
      :param allowed_updates: List the types of updates you want your bot to receive. For example, specify
                              [“message”, “edited_channel_post”, “callback_query”] to only receive updates
                              of these types. See Update for a complete list of available update types.
                              Specify an empty list to receive all updates regardless of type (default).
                              If not specified, the previous setting will be used.
  
                              Please note that this parameter doesn't affect updates created before the call
                              to the getUpdates, so unwanted updates may be received for a short period of time.
      :param offset: Identifier of the first update to be returned. Must be
                     greater by one than the highest among the identifiers of
                     previously received updates. By default, updates starting
                     with the earliest unconfirmed update are returned. An update
                     is considered confirmed as soon as getUpdates is called with
                     an offset higher than its update_id.
      :param limit: Limits the number of updates to be retrieved. Values between
                    1—100 are accepted. Defaults to 100
      :param timeout: Timeout in seconds for long polling. Defaults to 0, i.e.
                      usual short polling
      :param kwargs: Args that get passed down to :class:`TelegramBotRPCRequest`
  
      :type offset: int
      :type limit: int
      :type timeout: int
  
      :returns: An Array of Update objects is returned.
