Query returned more than 10000 results with getPastEvents

Question

I am writing a function to sync all transactions on a particular contract from a particular account in my local database to build a dashboard for account owners. I need to fetch all the past transfer events from the blockchain but I am getting the error that the call returned more than 10000 results sync function

syncTransactions(contract_address, owner_address, max_block) {
  const contract = new web3.eth.Contract(abi, contract_address);
  const from_block = max_block - 1000 >= 0 ? max_block - 1000 : 0;
  contract.getPastEvents(
    "Transfer",
    {
      fromBlock: from_block,
      toBlock: max_block,
    },
    (err, events) => {
      if (err) {
        console.log(err);
      }
      for (let i = 0; i < events.length; i++) {
        // check if 'to' or 'from' is equal to owner_account, if yes, add it to local database
      }
      syncTransactions(contract_address, owner_address, from_block - 1);
    }
  );
}

I haven't gotten to the point of filtering transactions using the given owner account. How can I avoid this error? Is there a better way to do this?

P.S. I have tried using both https and web socket URLs provided by Infura but getting the same error.

You can try something similar to the suggestion in this answer. Just replace web3.eth.getPastLogs with contract.getPastEvents, and apply all required subsequent fixes (input parameters, etc). — goodvibration, Jul 29 '20 at 10:46
Iterate over smaller batches of blocks to retrieve smaller batches of events instead of asking for everything in one gulp. — Rob Hitchens, Jul 29 '20 at 16:03
This is by design.. infura limits log queries to the past 10,000 events — 0xsegfault, Aug 04 '20 at 21:12
