Token that authorizes a bot in the Telegram Bot API: the numeric bot ID, a colon and a secret that starts with A. Telegram documents the format only by example, so the regexp accepts the length of the documented samples (34 characters after the colon) and the length that the gitleaks secret scanner checks (35).
