Telegram is not sending text messages because I don’t have a premium account. And many features are locked in premium.
Currently, Telegram doesn’t allow users to create or log in to accounts via third-party apps. Also, I need an official telegram (a must from the Play Store). (Not even the apk from their own website.) To receive a login code.
Do you guys ever feel that telegram has become so much worse?

Did they say that on the UI? Or why do you think that? I don’t think that’s the cause.
And many features are locked in premium.
Sure, there are a few new features that were only added for premium users, but I don’t know about any that was available to everyone and then became premium only. Or am I wrong?

Well, about that. While I don’t think the above concerns are valid, in the last few years telegram has did things and durov made such announcements that are at least weird, but actually concerning, and don’t make me trust them more with their motives.
Right now I’m waiting for Element’s technical upgrade of Matrix.
That’s very weird. You are trying to message an average account, right? Could you please upload a screenshot (with sensitive into redacted of course), do I can see what’s the problem? Maybe it’s just a misunderstanding.
Oh, so they are not requiring premium for sending messages to a specific user, but for recovering an account with an inaccessible email address?
Or why do they want to reset the email through SMS?
I’m not paying for Telegram and I haven’t noticed missing out anywhere because of it. I’m using the APK file instead of the Play Store version because the latter censors Russian media channels (and I hate censorship). I wasn’t even aware there were premium accounts.
I’m in 2 dozen channels, have a few friends who mainly use Telegram instead of the competitors and I haven’t noticed a single issue, except for their homegrown encryption scheme.
The secret chats are E2EE. And I am not using it to send text messages. I am saying that Telegram is not sending me a text message login code because I do not have a premium account.
From random users. Maybe. I’m not to familiar with Telegram and honestly I don’t know a lot of people on that platform so I barely ever use it except to block users lol
