"""Get the total count of messages in a chat.
.. note::
Due to Telegram latest internal changes, the server can't reliably find anymore the total count of messages
a **private** or a **basic group** chat has with a single method call. To overcome this limitation, Pyrogram
has to iterate over all the messages. Channels and supergroups are not affected by this limitation.
Parameters:
chat_id (``int`` | ``str``):
Unique identifier (int) or username (str) of the target chat.
Returns:
``int``: On success, the chat history count is returned.
Example:
.. code-block:: python
app.get_history_count("pyrogramchat")
