Splunk Python SDK API job.results limited to 50k results. Trying to set an offset to pull multiple chunks of 50k but don't know how to get it to work

[cdhippen]

I have a job who's job['resultCount'] is 367k, but no matter what I do, I can't seem to pull more than the first 50,000 chunk.

I read this chunk of code off of an answer here for someone who had a similar end goal and setup: https://answers.splunk.com/answers/114045/python-sdk-results-resultsreader-extremely-slow.html

rs = job.results(count=maxRecords, offset=self._offset)
results.ResultsReader(io.BufferedReader(ResponseReaderWrapper(rs)))

I wrote the below code around that and I've fiddled around a bit with it, but I can't get offset=self._offset to do anything and I have no idea what it's supposed to be doing.

    try:
        earliest_time = query_dict['earliest_time']
        latest_time = query_dict['latest_time']
    except KeyError:
        earliest_time = '-1d@d'
        latest_time = '@d'

I was able to get this working successfully. My code below should demonstrate how this is accomplished.

Also with this current code, if I change rs = job.results(count=0) to rs = job.results(count=0, offset=anything) I get no search results returned
