IPv6 128 adresses for devices normal?

Hi,
so i setup IPv6 on my OPNSense following this tutorial:
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/ipv6_dsl.html
with the only difference that i unticked the checkbox "Request only an IPv6 prefix" on the WAN interface, since otherwise my OPNSense wouldn't have an public IPv6 Adress, only a local one.
However i noticed that basically all my devices across all networks get both a 64 public address and a 128 public address. Some use the 64, others the 128. But ipv6 tests on all devices seems good and everything seems to check out.
I basically just want to ask, if that is normal behavior? Should i be worried? Did i do something wrong?
Thanks for answers in advance.

IPv6 is designed to operate with multiple host addresses, include multiple global addresses. In your case the addresses are likely being configured via SLAAC - one is temporary and the other non-temporary/stable
