Description

### Specifications

* Client Version: 1.36.1
* InfluxDB Version: 2.71
* Platform: Linux

### Code sample to reproduce problem

Push a series of data and get it back via API query
```
for i in range(0,600000):
temperatura += 1
point = (
Point("Postazione1")
.tag("TipoTest", 1)
.field("Temperatura", temperatura))
DBresponse = write_api.write(bucket=bucket, org=config.influx_org, record=point)
time.sleep(.01)
```
Then get back the data with API AND THE QUERY BELOW
```
from(bucket: “Bed1”)
|> range(start: 2023-06-22T14:10:36.106Z, stop: 2023-06-22T14:29:12.154Z)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r[“_measurement”] == “Postazione1”)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r[“TipoTest”] == “1”)
|> filter(fn: (r) => r[“_field”] == “Temperatura”)
|> aggregateWindow(every: 1s, fn: mean, createEmpty: false)
|> yield(name: “mean”)
|> pivot(rowKey:[“_time”], columnKey: [“_field”], valueColumn: “_value”)
|> keep(columns:[“_time”, “Temperatura”])

client = InfluxDBClient(url=influx_url, token=influx_token, org=influx_org, debug=False)
df = client.query_api().query_data_frame(org=influx_org, query=query)
```

For some reason, `df` is a list of, in my case, 2 data frames so I can access `df[0]` and `df[1]`

Why I got 2 data frames and not one?

### Expected behavior

Return a single data frame with all the data from my measure

### Actual behavior

Return two data frames
