For instance, this can happen if previous request was received and processed successfully but the client did not receive the response, e.g. due to a network error. The correct_offset value tells you where you should resume the upload from.
In this case, you're using chunk size of 10000 bytes, so it seems you're not actually uploading an entire chunk, since correct_offset is 540.
To help debug this, I recommend printing out the length of data you're getting out of f.read each time to check that you're uploading as much as you expect to.
