total results changing when offset to access records >500

Summary:

We have observed when making certain rest calls with offset and limit the total results is changing and limiting our access to information.

For example, when
{{url}}//hcmRestApi/resources/latest/recruitingJobOffersLOV?limit=20&offset=470&totalResults=true

"totalResults": 1999

but when

{{url}}//hcmRestApi/resources/latest/recruitingJobOffersLOV?limit=20&offset=480&totalResults=true

"totalResults":500

What is happening here? It is almost as if we are capped at 500 records for this service regardless of the offset. Considering the variance is 4x this is very significant.
