Need to boot hourly workspaces but start_workspaces() and describe_workspaces() limited to 25

Question

I have the below script that works on booting workspaces, but it gets the first 25 Workspaces, despite being AVAILABLE or STOPPED state.

I am running more than 25 Workspaces in my environment and I am trying to figure out what is there I need to add on it, in order to check all workspaces in my environment (50<) and initiate START to the ones that are in a STOPPED state.

I look forward hearing your feedback.

Thanks

import boto3

workspaces = boto3.client('workspaces')


def lambda_handler(event, context):

  workspaces_client_list = workspaces.describe_workspaces()

  for workspaces_info in workspaces_client_list['Workspaces']:
    workspace_id = workspaces_info['WorkspaceId']
    workspace_state = workspaces_info['State']

    if workspace_state == 'STOPPED':
      start_workspaces(workspace_id)


def start_workspaces(workspace_id):

  workspaces.start_workspaces(
    StartWorkspaceRequests = [
      {
        'WorkspaceId': workspace_id
      },
    ]
  )

The documentation states that you can provide a Limit in the request parameters

Limit

The maximum number of items to return.
Type: Integer
Valid Range: Minimum value of 1. Maximum value of 25.
Required: No

You only get 25 items because it's the maximum number of items you can get. To get all items you have to check in any response whether there NextToken. If there is a next token you have to use it for the next request, you iterate this until there is no next token left.

def lambda_handler(event, context):
   workspaces_client_list = get_all_workspaces()

   for workspaces_info in workspaces_client_list:
     workspace_id = workspaces_info['WorkspaceId']
     workspace_state = workspaces_info['State']

     if workspace_state == 'STOPPED':
       start_workspaces(workspace_id)

def get_all_workspaces():
   response = workspaces.describe_workspaces()
   workspaces_client_list = response['Workspaces']
   while "NextToken" in response:
    response = workspaces.describe_workspaces(NextToken=response['NextToken'])
    workspaces_client_list.extend(response['Workspaces'])    
    
   return workspaces_client_list
