Each call to the Kinesis DescribeStream API returns a limited number of
shards. When interrogating AWS for the state of a Kinesis stream, the
client needs to page through the API's responses to get the true number
of shards.
using limit: 1 on DescribeStream will always return 1 shard no matter how many shards there actually are when we call `len()`. so i've removed the limit parameter to get the actual shard list returned
