Describe the bug
The function playlist_items's offset and limit parameter are not working for me.

Your code

from spotipy.oauth2 import SpotifyClientCredentials, SpotifyOAuth
import json

credentials=open('credentials.json')
keys=json.load(credentials)

scope="user-library-read"
spotify = spotipy.Spotify(client_credentials_manager=SpotifyClientCredentials(client_id=keys['CLIENT_ID'], client_secret=keys['CLIENT_SECRET']),
    auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth(client_id=keys['CLIENT_ID'], client_secret=keys['CLIENT_SECRET'], redirect_uri="http://localhost:8888/callback", scope=scope))

playlist = spotify.playlist_items(playlist_id="7zea9So7ZqkHJk2sjPSezz?si=89a4b290212a473a",offset=1, limit=50)
for idx, item in enumerate(playlist['tracks']['items']):
    track=item['track']
    res=spotify.search(track['artists'][0]['name'], limit=1, type='artist')
    print(idx, track['artists'][0]['name'], " - ", res['artists']['items'][0]['genres'])

Expected behavior
I believe that this bit of code should output the artist name/genre for that album for tracks 2-51. Instead it outputs tracks 1-100
