Thank you for reporting it. No idea why at the moment.

Looking closer it seems as a limitation on the YouTube side. YouTube API deliberately breaks for the auto-generated playlists limiting number of the returned items and ignoring its own pagination parameters. It's possible to retrieve a few more items tweaking page size used in the API call but it's still far from the complete list.

See similar issue reported here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45309497/youtube-playlistitems-do-not-return-all-items.

My apology for the limitation, but it seems not much can be done to fix it.
