> It as of Prodigy doesn't recognise that it's the same named session but there might be a different explanation of course. Any thoughts?

I think you're on to something here. Can you confirm that you're using `exclude_by='input'`? I was able to reproduce a problem where existing items weren't filtered using `exclude_by='input'` with `feed_overlap=True`.

I have a fix for the issue that I found, would you be willing to try a beta version to verify it works for you? If so, either respond here or send me a PM and I'll give you the link. 🙇‍♂️
