**Description**  
Hello,

I have an problem in obtaining the “next\_page\_token” from chat message API.  
After first request (with page\_size set to 50) i got the appropritae next\_page\_token, but with the second request the field is empty.

Should I provide a “date” field to gain an access to some older messages or is there a limit for that.

Moreover I tried to set “date” field but it still being ignored and default value is used instead.

I am using OAuth mechanism.

Endpoints: /chat/users/{userId}/messages

Empty next\_page\_token field in second response

Unfortunately I can attach only one image, but the field ‘date’ is not updated (using format "2019-05-05’)

Thanks for Your help

Hi @piotr.p, im not sure I can fully follow your problem, can you provide page sizes and total records from a sample response?

The `next_page_token` for the final response page will be blank.

For the date field, are you using the following format: `YYYY-MM-DD` ?
