Credits Deduction:
The credits deducted are the minimum of the number of records found and the current page size. If there are 30 records found and the page size is 50, then 30 credits will be deducted. Vice versa, if the records are 60 and the page size is 50, then 50 credits will be deducted because the API only returned 50 contacts. The next 10 contacts will be in the next page and the credits for those will only be deducted if you send the API call for the next page to fetch those contacts.
