Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/871

When I call Spotipy's current_user_playlists() endpoint with offset 0 and limit 50, it returns 24 results for my current user.
This is less than the 42 items I see in the Spotify GUI.
And indeed, Spotify's endpoint https://developer.spotify.com/console/get-current-user-playlists/?limit=50&offset=0 returns the 42 playlists seen in the Spotify client.
I'm not sure what causes Spotipy's current_user_playlists() API endpoint not to return the missing 18 items.
This is with Spotipy v.2.20. at the time of reporting this issue.

Found that this issue was scopes-related. I had only scoped playlist-modify-private, which returns as many results as playlist-read-collaborative. Both scopes of playlist-read-private and playlist-read-collaborative were needed to return all results.
