Describe the bug I try to get X elements from AppSync with query Limit but it does not work properly.

Amplify CLI Version 4.18.1

To Reproduce Schema.graphql

type InventoryRoom
    @model
    @auth(rules: [
        { allow: private, operations: [read] }
        { allow: groups, groups: ["admin"] }
    ])
{
    id: ID!
    name: String
    items: [InventoryItem] @connection(keyName: "byRoom", fields: ["id"])
}

type InventoryItem
    @model
    @key(name: "byRoom", fields: ["roomID"])
    @auth(rules: [
        { allow: private, operations: [read] }
        { allow: groups, groups: ["admin"] }
    ])
{
    id: ID!
    name: String!
    volume: Int!
    imageKey: String
    imageIdentityId: String
    roomID: ID!
    room: InventoryRoom! @connection(fields: ["roomID"])
}

Expected behavior I except to receive 5 items if I enter limit: 5

Screenshots Limit 5: got 2

Issues on Amplify are almost always left behind, people are asking questions here so why nobody answered? Why there is no link to some doc or somewhere with an explanation? Why is this issue closed? @edeuxk @alxistn asked great questions and I also didn’t get why Dynamo works that way in this case. @yuth
