I just tried downloading and got all 156 in a csv within a zip file (usual format). Not sure what the issue might be, maybe just try again?

This was my download link from iNat: https://www.inaturalist.org/attachments/flow_task_outputs/2735132/observations-143114.csv.zip?1618349768

Hmm, observations were still being added to that rectangle. My query finds 180 observations now. And this time the download contains them all.

iNat was being very slow to respond when I did the original query. Perhaps there was just a glitch. But still, that’s an odd glitch to occur, to think it successfully exported all the observations when it hadn’t.
