Bing Web Search mkt parameter: format, the cc conflict, and checking BingAPIs-Market
TL;DR
When calling Bing Web Search: pass mkt as language-country (en-US), never together with cc, they are mutually exclusive. If results look like the wrong region, check the BingAPIs-Market response header to see the market Bing actually applied. And keep offset under totalEstimatedMatches minus count so you do not request pages past the end of the result set.
Use this when you run into the situation in the title.

Details
Context: Official docs (MicrosoftDocs bing-docs, query parameters reference): the market parameter gotchas. mkt is language-country like en-US. mkt and cc are mutually exclusive, do not send both. To see which market Bing actually used for a request, inspect the BingAPIs-Market response header. Keep offset below totalEstimatedMatches minus count, otherwise you page past the end.
