The props bot sometimes adds repetitive comments rather than updating the existing comment

Description

In a particular Gutenberg PR, the props bot appears to be adding repetitive comments after each commit or comment, rather than checking and updating the existing comment.

For example: WordPress/gutenberg#57841 (comment) — note that alternating comments / commits appear to be between a comment or commit by a user, and then a new comment from the props bot.

Is it possible that the props bot is unable to find its existing comment to update, for some reason?

Another idea from @tellthemachines: could this be to do with this PR originating from before the props bot was added?

I think that this is due to the upper limit being 100 when querying the REST API to look for a previous comment.

Looking at the action, this will need to be a different solution than #53 because those queries utilize the GraphQL API.
