This behavior is by design, as per the Twitter REST API documentaion for GetUserTimeline(). In the definition of the count parameter...

Specifies the number of Tweets to try and retrieve, up to a maximum of 200 per distinct request.

To get all tweets, check out Working With Timelines on the Twitter Developer site.

I have created a sample for you in the documentation : https://github.com/linvi/tweetinvi/wiki/Get-All-User-Tweets

RateLimit.RateLimitTrackerMode = RateLimitTrackerMode.TrackAndAwait;

RateLimit.QueryAwaitingForRateLimit += (sender, args) =>
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Query : {args.Query} is awaiting for rate limits!");
};

long userId = <YOUR_USER_ID>;
var lastTweets = Timeline.GetUserTimeline(userId, 200).ToArray();

var allTweets = new List<ITweet>(lastTweets);
var beforeLast = allTweets;

while (lastTweets.Length > 0 && allTweets.Count <= 3200)
{
    var idOfOldestTweet = lastTweets.Select(x => x.Id).Min();
    Console.WriteLine($"Oldest Tweet Id = {idOfOldestTweet}");

    var numberOfTweetsToRetrieve = allTweets.Count > 3000 ? 3200 - allTweets.Count: 200;
    var timelineRequestParameters = new UserTimelineParameters
    {
        // MaxId ensures that we only get tweets that have been posted 
        // BEFORE the oldest tweet we received
        MaxId = idOfOldestTweet - 1,
        MaximumNumberOfTweetsToRetrieve = numberOfTweetsToRetrieve
    };

    lastTweets = Timeline.GetUserTimeline(userId, timelineRequestParameters).ToArray();
    allTweets.AddRange(lastTweets);
}

// `allTweets` now contains all the tweets that Twitter can return
