I just checked up on my personal CV problem species (_Narceus americanus_) and noticed that it is still getting CV-suggested IDs despite it having been removed from the model 5 months ago (and might now be above the threshold to be included again as a result). Those IDs are coming from observations uploaded via Seek and iNat Next. It looks like this issue was already raised a year ago [here](https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/the-seek-app-suggests-species-despite-being-removed-from-inaturalist-s-computer-vision-model/54577) but another aspect I wasn’t aware of until just now.
