Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/1024

Describe the bug
If I call spotipy.current_user_saved_tracks() against my current library, I get a get 'Max reries reached' error.
I have nearly 26k files in my library, but the content should be paged but I don't seem to even be able to get past the first page.

Your code

saved_tracks_response = self.sp.current_user_saved_tracks()

My scope is set to 'user-library-read'.

Expected behavior
Should get a pageable response to iterate through like songs.

Output
http status: 429, code:-1 - /v1/me/tracks?offset=20&limit=20:
Max Retries, reason: too many 500 error responses

If I step through, I can get a page of results, so perhaps I need to change the timeout?

Environment:

OS: [Windows]
Python version [e.g. 3.11.0]
your IDE (if using any) [e.g. VSCode]

Additional context
