Edit:
This is no longer needed, AirTable has updated the official script with a superior correction.

Original Post:
Here is a version of the M Query code for Power BI/Excel with a small correction that resolves the issue of the query endlessly pulling the first page of results:
let Pagination = List.Skip(List.Generate( () => [Last_Key = "init", Counter=0],
each [Last_Key] <> null,
each [
Last_Key = try if [Counter]<1 then ""
else
[WebCall][Value][offset] otherwise null,
WebCall = try if [Counter]<1
then
Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.airtable.com",
[RelativePath="v0/"&BASE_ID&"/"&TABLE_ID&"", Headers=[#"Authorization"="Bearer "&PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN,#"Content-Type"="application/json"]]))
else
Json.Document(Web.Contents("https://api.airtable.com",
[RelativePath="v0/"&BASE_ID&"/"&TABLE_ID&"?offset="&Last_Key&"", Headers=[#"Authorization"="Bearer "&PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN,#"Content-Type"="application/json"]])),
Counter = [Counter]+1
],
each [WebCall]
),1),
#"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(
Pagination, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
#"Expanded Column1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(
#"Converted to Table", "Column1", {"Value"}, {"Column1.Value"}),
#"Expanded Column1.Value" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(
#"Expanded Column1", "Column1.Value", {"records"}, {"Column1.Value.records"}),
#"Expanded Column1.Value.records" = Table.ExpandListColumn(
#"Expanded Column1.Value", "Column1.Value.records"),
#"Expanded Column1.Value.records1" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(
#"Expanded Column1.Value.records", "Column1.Value.records",
{"id", "fields", "createdTime"},
{"Column1.Value.records.id", "Column1.Value.records.fields", "Column1.Value.records.createdTime"}),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(
#"Expanded Column1.Value.records1",{{"Column1.Value.records.id", "_airtableRecordId"},
{"Column1.Value.records.createdTime", "_airtableRecordCreatedAt"},
{"Column1.Value.records.fields", "_airtableRecordFields"}}),
#"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(
#"Renamed Columns",
{"_airtableRecordId", "_airtableRecordCreatedAt", "_airtableRecordFields"}),
#"Expanded Record Fields" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(
