Comment:

 Hi @se8820726, and thanks for the ticket.

 I've been able to reproduce the problem exactly as you described. The
 issue occurs because in 6.8, when requesting posts with the `per_page`
 parameter but without specifying the sticky parameter, the system prepends
 all sticky posts to the result set without respecting the pagination
 limit.

 I've created a patch that ensures the `per_page` parameter is properly
 respected in all cases. The solution adds a check to ignore sticky post
 behavior when pagination is requested, but no explicit sticky preference
 is specified.

 Let me know if the patch tests well for you.
