Some themes can insert duplicate title like that, so change theme first to see if it disappear, if not, then others.

if the problem is that bad, i suggest to take a look at screaming frog seo to see how many duplicate titles and descriptions you have... that tool shows you a lot
may I know what did you use before you migrated to seo framework? also, how was the migration? did you have to do a lot of manual fixes or seo framework took care of all the changes and migrations by itself?

I've used rankmath but finally I got huge site breakdown when migrate my website to a new host. After that I did some research about the rankmath and found it's heavy bloated coded plugin. I found this SEO framework and I did everything manually with it again. And I feel great.
What I have to do is re enter my meta data to post by post. Otherwise it will automatically generate those for us. But it was not enough.

I suggest to use all in one SEO or toast plugin. You can add manually the meta description for each post. Otherwise the meta description will take automatically from the content. It will help you to duplicate meta description.

Duplicate meta descriptions can be a nuisance for site owners, as they can negatively affect the ranking of their pages. Fortunately, there are a few ways to get rid of them.
One way is to use the canonical tag. The canonical tag tells search engines which page is the original, and the others should be ignored. To use the canonical tag, add the following code to your header:
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/original-page-url/" />
Another way is to use a 301 redirect. A 301 redirect tells search engines that a page has been permanently moved to a new location. To set up a 301 redirect, add the following code to your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^old-url$ http://www.example.com/new-url/ permanent
If you're using a CMS like WordPress, there are plugins available that can help you fix duplicate meta descriptions. One such plugin is Yoast SEO. It scans your pages for duplicates and allows you to fix them with a few clicks.
No matter which method you choose, fixing duplicate meta descriptions is important for the ranking of your pages. By taking care of this issue, you can ensure that your site's visitors see the correct information in their search results.

There is an option under Tiles & Metas > Sitewide meta settings > Subpages of archives to noindex paginated pages. So you can use this option to noindex subpages of archives to remove duplicate Meta descriptions of paginated pages.

Does Google penalize you for duplicate content? Yes, there is a penalty for duplicate content. The good news is that it only affects search engine rankings for regular sites in rare cases. However, if a google employee manually examines your site as a result of the algorithm's warning, things can go up to manual enforcement.
Some sites open both with and without www. If this problem is not resolved, it will cause duplicate indexing and content saving. so you should collect the site in one version. For example, it only works with www.
Choosing the preferred domain with Google webmaster tools is very important. Whichever type you prefer, you'll need to do this once and point other opening methods to your preferred method to resolve duplication issues.
Solution with rel=”canonical” tag If you don't want search engines to see your comment pages as page1.html page2.html or pages like tag-a, tag-b and your comments as duplicate content. You should definitely use the canonical url option.

It's actually pretty simple problem.
your problems caused by : bad themes and/or bad plugins.
Themes : most themes rarely being created with seo as its base.
Plugins : almost every seo plugins published today don't cover paginated pages, as they've probably thought these pages won't do much. The thing is, when they aren't handled properly, then all your paginated pages would practically have the same meta description as the first page.
Suggestion : You can actually rid of plugins to freshen your site's load, and apply all the seo aspects to your theme directly. From this point on, your focus can be at one thing only. The theme. I'd like to offer you to take a look at your site by PM (not a service by any means, just a lending hand), but by the time I write this comment, I don't currently have proper privilege to do it, so PM me instead if you still stuck somewhere with this same problem.
