Limit not working when listing messages

Confirm this is an issue with the Python library and not an underlying OpenAI API

• This is an issue with the Python library

Describe the bug

I'm not able to list messages of a thread filtering by a certain limit.

To Reproduce

See the code snippet below.

Code snippets

# Assuming we have 20 messages in a thread with id "XYZ".


raw_messages = []
async for m in assistant.async_beta_client.threads.messages.list("XYZ", order="asc", limit=1):
    print(m)
    raw_messages.append(m) 
print(len(raw_messages))

# At the end of this code, the result is 20 and the loop runs 20 times. I was expecting a single result.

OS

Python version

Ah, you are actually making 20 API calls here, thanks to our auto-pagination feature (see the README). To make just a few:

raw_messages = []
page = await assistant.async_beta_client.threads.messages.list("XYZ", order="asc", limit=1)
for m in page.data:
    print(m)
    raw_messages.append(m) 
print(len(raw_messages))
