Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/585

Describe the bug
Everytime I tried to pull tracks from playlist its always give me up to 7 instead of the limit (100). I did check all playlist and give me 7 too. Any idea what I missed? I check the limit and it is 100.

Your code

result = sp.playlist_items(playlistID, additional_types=['track'])
                available_tracks = len(result)

Expected behavior
Give me more than 7

This is definitely strange! Can you confirm that you are checking different playlists i.e. that playlistID is not always set to the same playlist, or perhaps check this with print([item['track']['name'] for item in result])? Some replicable code would be appreciated as well - currently, I'm fetching up to the specified limit.

I did check it and I try all of the available playlist and give me same results which 7 tracks only per playlist.

I'm not entirely sure then, though I'll keep investigating for you - in the meantime, I have some tests I'd like you to try:

Explicitly set limit=100 e.g. spotify.playlist_items(playlistID, additional_types=['track'], limit=100)
Fetch the next component(s) returned as well.

As an example of 1) and 2):

result = spotify.playlist_items(playlistID, additional_types=['track'], limit=100)
all_tracks = []

while result:
    all_tracks.extend(result['items'])
    result = spotify.next(result)

available_tracks = len(all_tracks)

This code is necessary for long playlists above the set limit as multiple requests are necessary.

Let us know if doing either 1) or 2) yields any difference!

result does not directly contain the items, try len(result['items']) instead
