limit UInt32(min=1, max=2000)?The maximum number of results to return per request. Note: This is an approximate number and there can be slightly more entries returned in some cases. This field is optional.

Then after getting first 200 records , we are calling list folder continue using following,

list folder continue , with cursor should return same count result (200 entries in above case) set for each call

The 'limit' parameter is used to set an approximate maximum number of entries to return per result page, per the documentation you mentioned.

Due to various implementation details, the server may not return that many in every result, and so the count is not expected to necessarily be the same in every result.
