Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/1084

Describe the bug
Setting the "offset" arg in the method "current_user_playlists" does not return the list of playlists starting at the correct index.
Giving "offset" the value 42 will start the list at index 42 as expected, however giving "offset" the value 43 will oddly return the list starting at index 42. Any greater number will make it start at the index 1 before.

Your code
This block of code with offset set to 43 has the exact same output:

offset = 42
chunk = sp.current_user_playlists(offset=offset)['items']
for playlist in chunk:
       print(playlist['name'])

Expected behavior
current_users_playlists() should start at the correct offset

Output
42. Emo
43. Bren Lukens
44. Jake Ewald
45. Jesse Lacey
46. Summer
47. Kevin Parker
48. Love Songs
49. The Strokes

Environment:

OS: Windows 10
Python 3.12.1
spotipy version 2.23.0
Visual Studio Code

It seems to be a problem with the API rather than the library. You could try using the Spotify Web API documentation to check if it's an API issue.

I can't replicate it for myself as I don't have that many playlists in my library.

Due to the lack of activity, I'm going to close this topic. Please reopen if it's still happening, and try it out in the API documentation as well.
