sync_commands() raising Application command names must be unique
Summary
Application command names must be unique raised when calling sync_commands() method
Reproduction Steps
When I unload/load/reload a cogs using bot.unload_extension(), etc. I also call the bot.sync_commands() method as unloading the extension doesn't unload the commands from discord.
Minimal Reproducible Code
@bridge.bridge_command(hidden=True)
@commands.is_owner()
async def unload(self, ctx: commands.Context, extension: str):
extension = extension.lower()
path = None
if extension in self._iterdir_names(self.bot.cogs_path):
path = self.cogs_folder
elif extension in self._iterdir_names(self.bot.extensions_path):
path = self.bot.extensions_path.name
if path is not None:
print(f"Unloading {path}.{extension}")
self.bot.unload_extension(f"{path}.{extension}")
print(f"Unloaded {path}.{extension}")
await ctx.reply(f"Unloaded {path}.{extension}", delete_after=3)
else:
logging.warning(
f"{extension} doesn't exist in the cogs or extensions folder."
)
await self.bot.sync_commands()
Expected Results
The sync command to update the bot's commands on the discord api to match those of the bots.

Additional Context
No response
Am experiencing this too when I sync when loading extensions then unloading extenstions.
Also having the same issue even when theres only 2 slash commands and their names are unique
I have investigated this a bit more and found a temporary hack to fix OP's error.
TLDR: Run bot._pending_application_commands = [] before your reloading code.
Slash commands added by decorators are stored in _pending_application_commands. sync_commands() uses this list when you do not pass an argument. This list is not cleared when you unload and reload your extensions.
Here I've printed out the contents of _pending_application_commands twice, before and after reloading. The list doubled in size and included duplicates of commands, causing the error in question.
Manually clearing the array before reloading fixed this for me, but it may break something I'm not aware of.
