Exactly half of my photos are downloaded each time

[dojoca]

Overview

When I run icloudpd with any parameter to download all of my photos, it downloads exactly half of them and then stops, with the message "All photos were downloaded".

Steps to Reproduce

I run icloudpd -u "[email protected]" -p "password" -d "/path/to/files".

Expected Behavior

All photos are downloaded.

Actual Behavior

Exactly half of the photos in icloud are downloaded.

Context

It's a very strange problem. It happens whether I use icloudpd, or if I use a python script. I'm somewhat novice to scripting (I mainly used AI to generate scripts).

I'm running ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS, the latest version of icloudpd.

Would it help for me to provide some sort of listing of dependency versions, or a log? The log itself doesn't seem to say anything unusual, it just proceeds as expected until exactly half the photos are downloaded, then stops as if it's finished successfully.
