hi @rosamond!

Can you try [logging](https://prodi.gy/docs/install#debugging-logging)? I'm wondering that your `feed_overlap` may not be set to `true` like you think.

Try adding `PRODIGY_LOGGING=verbose`:

```python
PRODIGY_LOGGING=verbose python -m prodigy textcat_sent_sequence sent_dataset ...

```

Then look for `CONFIG` and `FEED`:

```bash
$ PRODIGY_LOGGING=verbose python -m prodigy ner.manual ner_ex1 blank:en nyt_text_dedup.jsonl --label ORG

...

20:54:00: CONFIG: Using config from global prodigy.json
/Users/ryan/.prodigy/prodigy.json

20:54:00: DB: Initializing database SQLite
20:54:00: DB: Connecting to database SQLite
20:54:00: DB: Creating dataset '2023-02-01_20-54-00'
{'created': datetime.datetime(2023, 2, 1, 20, 50, 36)}

20:54:00: FEED: Initializing from controller
{'auto_count_stream': True, 'batch_size': 10, 'dataset': 'ner_ex1', 'db': <prodigy.components.db.Database object at 0x11c3070a0>, 'exclude': ['ner_ex1'], 'exclude_by': 'input', 'max_sessions': 10, 'overlap': False, 'self': <prodigy.components.feeds.Feed object at 0x11c307c40>, 'stream': <generator object at 0x11c1b8540>, 'target_total_annotated': None, 'timeout_seconds': 3600, 'total_annotated': 0, 'total_annotated_by_session': Counter(), 'validator': <prodigy.components.validate.Validator object at 0x11c306a70>, 'view_id': 'ner_manual'}

...

```

Two things to notice. First, in the `CONFIG`, you can see that Prodigy is using the global `prodigy.json`. This is a good check on whether your local project `prodigy.json` is being read in our if the global one (which is checked first).

Second, look at the `FEED` and verify what `feed_overlap` is. By default, it's set to `False`.

I'm wondering if your global `prodigy.json` is overwriting your local project's `prodigy.json`.

One way to check this is using overrides (see this [post](https://support.prodi.gy/t/ner-team/6262/4#feed_overlap-true-overlapping-2) for example):

```python
PRODIGY_LOGGING=verbose PRODIGY_CONFIG_OVERRIDES='{"feed_overlap": true}' python -m prodigy ner.manual ner_ex1 blank:en nyt_text_dedup.jsonl --label ORG

```

This would make sense if you forgot in your `rosamond` to save your last annotation (make sure before closing out of your browser, you hit save to save to DB any remaining in your batch (client) that haven't been saved yet).

By default, Prodigy will [dedup](https://prodi.gy/docs/api-loaders#hashing) by `task_hash`. If you're only doing one task, this likely means you have some duplicates in your data.

Check those items and let us know if you're still having issues.
