TOI-640 b is one of only three known hot Jupiters to have a highly inflated radius (R$_{\rm P}$ > 1. 7R$_{\rm J}$, possibly a result of its host star's evolution) and resides on an orbit with a period longer than 5 days.

We highlight several potential pitfalls in exoplanet modeling, including the handling of eccentricity in transit-only fits, that the standard exoplanet convention for $\omega$ uses a left-handed coordinate system, contrary to most modern textbooks, how to avoid an important degeneracy when allowing negative companion masses, and a widely unappreciated, potential 10-minute ambiguity in the reported transit times.

Using spectroscopic radial velocities with the APOGEE instrument and Gaia distance estimates, we demonstrate that Kepler-503b, currently considered a validated Kepler planet, is in fact a brown-dwarf/low-mass star in a nearly circular 7. 2-day orbit around a subgiant star.

We confirm the planetary nature of the companion via a combination of radial velocities, which limit the mass to $< 4. 1\,\mathrm{M_J}$ $(3\sigma)$, and a clear Doppler tomography signal, which indicates a retrograde projected spin-orbit misalignment of $\lambda = -179. 7^{+3. 7}_{-3. 8}$ degrees.
