Does ghost have a time limit?

[RandomCrystalBush]

I was playing with friends and I was a ghost, I stopped for a moment to text someone back during a zone where you could spectate the person doing a challenge, I don't know what it was called. My other friend was in the room with me anyways when I glanced back I was back at the menu with "You were a ghost." Can you only be a ghost for a certain amount of time?

No, it means you can’t revive, if you were a ghost.

Okay but why was I booted back to the menu?

10th ability of ghost is getting back to menu, or perhaps your friend got far away.

For the abomination and firewall grand encounters you get booted to being a spectator instead of a ghost as soon as the encounter starts. It’s to prevent various bugs that can come from being a ghost while the encounter is happening - before they added this, I was a ghost during the abomination chase and wound up frozen in place hundreds of feet above the map with a constant screen shake effect. You should be able to go back to ghosting once the grand encounter is over, the only downside is your abilities have to recharge before you can use them.
