This issue seem to be realted to timestamp.
If we specify and add our timestamp to the logging.listLogEntries() method call than it will just grab the next page of results.

public Page<LogEntry> getLogs(String pageToken) throws Exception {
    Logging.EntryListOption filterOption = Logging.EntryListOption.filter("timestamp>=\"2025-07-01T00:00:00.000Z\"");

    try (Logging logging = LoggingOptions.getDefaultInstance().getService()) {
        return logging.listLogEntries(
                filterOption,
                Logging.EntryListOption.pageToken(pageToken)
        );
    }
}
