Bot API issue

Hello.
I'm developing this bot as a side project, it's my first time doing most of this stuff so I apologize in advance if I'm misunderstanding somathing.

I noticed in the past couple of days, since connecting my bot, that I run into an issue in cerain games:
If a user challenges the bot with a game having:
- less than a minute of playtime
- 0 byoyomi
- 0 increment
i can accept the challenge, receive confirmation and receive a gameStart, but then when i try to srtream the game, i get an error saying "This game cannot be played with the Bot API.".

I'll change it to refuse these games but i thought I could let you know.
Again, if this is just a misunderstanding on my part i apologize, I'm not very well versed in this stuff yet.

Bots do not support Ultrabullet games.

@Nikitosik1708 Yes, but lishogi no longer existed real-time ctrl. (Ultrabullet, Bullet, Blitz, Rapid, Classical)

I think the point of this is to avoid people farming the bots for elo (because bots will be slower than humans when playing)

because otherwise the highest-rated players would probably just be flaggers playing against bots for free rating
