getInlineAnchor being invoked repeatedly, even after CSUI is rendered

is it normal for getInlineAnchor to be invoked repeatedly by the Plasmo framework, even after the anchor is found to exist and the CSUI renders? I have a very basic extension, where I just want to add a button next to the <body> element of the page. I have the following snippet 
export const getInlineAnchor: PlasmoGetInlineAnchor = async () => {
  console.log('getInlineAnchor');
  return document.body;
};

const MyComponent = () => {
  return <div>Hello World</div>;
};

export const config: PlasmoCSConfig = {
  matches: ['https://www.linkedin.com/sales/search/people*'],
};

export const getShadowHostId = () => "plasmo-inline-example-unique-id"

export default MyComponent;
export const getInlineAnchor: PlasmoGetInlineAnchor = async () => {
  console.log('getInlineAnchor');
  return document.body;
};

const MyComponent = () => {
  return <div>Hello World</div>;
};

export const config: PlasmoCSConfig = {
  matches: ['https://www.linkedin.com/sales/search/people*'],
};

export const getShadowHostId = () => "plasmo-inline-example-unique-id"

export default MyComponent;
and despite my button rendering, I notice that getInlineAnchor is still printed out in console.

For what its worth, it looks like render() still only gets called once per anchor. SO it looks like only getInlineAnchor is being called multiple times.
