    Hi mjmt,

    As seems, you observe only the first page of your list. Did you try continue listing? Keep in mind that list metadata are provided on pieces and every piece size is NOT guarantead (despite controlable). You have to check for more results waiting and continue when needed. Don't rely that entire list will get back as an only page (in spite possible)!

    Hope this claryfies matter.

I did not try continue listing, and after implementing this it worked. Thank you!
