Running example code

[alexiscaro2021]

Hi!

I'm trying to run the example with the retrieve_snow_depth() function. But if I run it with the default date or if I change it, for example, with dates = get_input_dates('2020-08-20'), it still starts downloading the same number of bands to the tmp folder.

1. Since I'm doing tests and it takes a long time to download and process, how can I reduce the number of bands I want to process?
2. Is it normal for the example code to take so long to run? I'm in Chile, and just downloading the data for the example period takes more than 4 hours. My internet speed is fast.

Thanks!

It's running, it took several hours of downloading but only two runs

Download/hyp3 processing time are usually 1-4 hours or so so that sounds about right. If you changed the dates but did not change the parameter existing_job_name that will just find the same job and download all the file.

This is useful behaviour so you don't use up all your hy3p credits but it does mean when you change parameters you need to change both the job name and exisiting job name.

Let me know if that makes sense.
