Vote on a poll

POST
/chats/{chat}/messages/{message}/poll/votes
curl --request POST \
  --url https://chat.work.optidata.cloud/api/chats/36/messages/176/poll/votes \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{ "option_id": 11 }'

Toggles the caller’s vote on one option: voting for an option they already picked withdraws that vote.

On a single-answer poll the new vote replaces the previous one. On a multiple-answer poll (is_multiple_answers: true) votes accumulate, one call per option.
