@djones1040 @alexandergagliano The GHOST library is effectively bypassing the NED rate limit you added. Even if we throttle the getTransientHosts() call in ghost.py, when it is invoked, more than one NED query per second is executed by GHOST. Given that the new workflow-based processing will run tasks much faster, we will need to fork astro_ghost again to implement this throttle until we can create and merge a fix upstream.
