Crawling subreddit posts stops after reaching ~500 posts

I'm trying to scrape all the posts from a given subreddit in the past year, I've set the total posts limit to a very high number (1 million). Unfortunately the scraper stops after finishing ~500 posts, and it didn't return any visible error

By default, the root subreddit URL loads the post in the Hot category. Try scrapping https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/new/ to get more posts.

I was able to get 845 results going until the the last page available on the worldnews subreddit. You should get something similar.

Thank you for the quick response! Is there a way to scrape all the posts historically on this subreddit?

Reddit limits the maximum posts that you can get on their website to 1000. I don't know any other way to surpass this at the moment besides to constantly scrape the subreddit and store the history yourself.
