How to avoid the "offset should be positive" error when requesting the VK API through stored procedures?

Question

In contact with

There is such a code here, a little redundant, in order to better understand what is happening.
What is the problem: I call the following procedure, the first thousand user ids come in response (1000 is the maximum that can be obtained through the API), and then this error appears: "One of the parameters specified was missing or invalid: offset should be positive" . That is, offset must be a positive number. The catch is that this very offset (users_got_count variable) does not decrease during the execution of the script, but rather increases (by +1000 per iteration).

var users_got_count = Args.users_got_count; // счетчик добавленных пользователей
var users_total = Args.users_total; // всего пользователей, задается через аргумент, т.к. может измениться
var peeps_left = users_total - users_got_count; // осталось добавить людей
var requests = 0; // сделано запросов

var members;
while (requests < 25 && peeps_left > 0) {
    members = members + API.groups.getMembers({"group_id": Args.group_id, "v": "5.44", "offset": users_got_count}).items;
    peeps_left = peeps_left - 1000;
    users_got_count = users_got_count + 1000;
    requests = requests + 1;
}
return members;

What is the problem? I would love to see your thoughts on this.

Try

var users_got_count = parseInt(Args.users_got_count);
