Duplicates present in lists (subscribed / requested) 400 Duplicate S-NSSAI present in subscribedNssai list: {snssai}.

Duplicate S-NSSAI present in requestedNssai list: {snssai}.
When AutoConfig is off and no AMF supports any allowed S-NSSAI 403 Unable to find an AMF that supports the allowed S-NSSAIs.
