Box-api get_items() folders fetch limits to 15 folders

I am trying to fetch a specific folder under thetarget_folder_name variable from my box account using get_items in box SDK. However, my code below fetches only first 15 folder names and stops rightafter. Pagination is not working as expected.

def lambda_handler(event, context):
        box_client = get_box_jwt_client()    
        target_folder_name = "my_test_folder"
        box_folder_id = get_box_folder_id(box_client, target_folder_name)
    
        if box_folder_id:
            print(f"Found folder ID: {box_folder_id}")
        else:
            print(f"Folder '{target_folder_name}' not found")
    
def get_box_folder_id(items, target_folder_name, root_folder_id="0", limit=200, offset=0):
        """
        Recursively fetches items from a Box folder in batches and returns the folder ID of the target folder.
        """
        items = box_client.folder(root_folder_id).get_items(limit=limit, offset=offset)
        for item in items:     
            if item.name == target_folder_name and item.type == 'folder':
                print(f"Folder '{target_folder_name}' found with ID: {item.id}")
                return item.id  # Return the folder ID as soon as it is found
        if len(list(items)) < limit:
            return None      
        # Fetch the next batch by updating the offset
        return get_box_folder_id(box_client, target_folder_name, root_folder_id, limit, offset + limit)

How to fix the file fetch limit issue?
