Youtube API 'nextPageToken' breaks when 'using order=relevance'

I am using python 3 to paginate through all comments in a video.
Let's say that the video, selected at random, has the id GFphNr0FK-0. As of now, there are 5450 comments.

I am paging through the results retrieved and checking if there is a nextPageToken key present. If there is, I grab the value from it and continue to loop until that key is no longer present.

With each iteration or page, I append the comments to a list. I get to 1600 comments (16 pages, 100 comments per page) and then I start getting error 400's.

When I inspect the nextPageToken, I see that with every request it gets longer and longer... I am not appending anything to it and it is literally retrieved using page_info['nextPageToken'].

For clarity, this is my paging:

self.COMMENT_URL_PAGED = 'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/commentThreads?part=snippet&maxResults=100&order=relevance&videoId={videoId}&key={key}'



if 'nextPageToken' not in page_info:

    run = False

else:

    next_page_token = page_info['nextPageToken']



while run:



    page_info = requests.get(self.COMMENT_URL_PAGED.format(videoId = video_id, key = self.KEY, pageToken = next_page_token))



    while page_info.status_code != 200:

        time.sleep(10)

        page_info = requests.get(self.COMMENT_URL_PAGED.format(videoId = video_id, key = self.KEY, pageToken = next_page_token))

        print('Something went wrong. Token is: {}'.format(next_page_token))



    page_info = page_info.json()



    for i in range(len(page_info['items'])):

        comments.append(page_info['items'][i]['snippet']['topLevelComment']['snippet']['textOriginal'])



    if 'nextPageToken' not in page_info:

        run = False

        next_page_token = None

    else:

        next_page_token = page_info['nextPageToken']

Anything obviously incorrect?

UPDATE

So, I have found that if I remove the order querystring parameter, it works as expected....

Why would &order=relevance cause it to break after 16 pages??
