Hello im currently trying to get the transaction for this address  
" bc1ql2ek3acvgfxrklcpmuk43hnvpnd7g52arqgf63gs7gfpq2f9seqs40yj65 ".

The problem is when i m trying to test the offset in some cases if i change the offset the result is the same.

Check the prints bellow.

I can see the offset working,

I tried [bitcoin offset test 1 - Blockchain Data API](https://ide.bitquery.io/bitcoin-offset-test-1)  
and [bitcoin offset test 2 - Blockchain Data API](https://ide.bitquery.io/bitcoin-offset-test-2) .

Let me know if you have questions. Alternatively, you can create a support ticket at [support.bitquery.io](http://support.bitquery.io) for any data issues

if i set the limit to 13 and offset 0 i get different transfers and values than if i use limit 1 and offset 0 until offset 12. Shouldn’t i get the same ?

example:

offset 0 limit 1  
offset 1 limit 1  
…  
offset 12 limit 1,

all this results should have the same values than if i use  
offset 0 limit 13 ??

@Pedro it is different blocks.  
You are sorting by `asc: "block.timestamp.unixtime"`  
So when it comes to say 13, it’s a different block, so the hash is different.

You can check by adding `height` to your response

```auto
 block {
        timestamp {
          unixtime
        }
        height
      }

```

Yes, offset 13 is another transaction but until offset 12 is the same block / hash.

On the left side i call all outbound transfers at once, in the right i call it 1 by 1. All transfer are from the same transaction (same hash and block), but i get different amounts. The order doesnt matter but the amount value yes and it is different.  
This is my point. Why is it different calling 1 by 1 and calling all at once?
