While Loop inside repeat turns into infinite loop, bug or just me being silly?

I have a scenario where I need to add a while loop inside a repeat.

The repeat goes through a database table of products, and then repeats through each record pulling additional API data for each, because the API has a 100 record limit I need to use a while loop to get the entire result set.

It would be very confusing to try show the exact script because its pretty large, but here is a small test case i created which runs infinitely.

Maybe its just not possible to do this as the global value is inside the repeat and so it can not reset it.
