The webhook for terminal.checkout.updated was called twice with the same body.  
I would like to confirm this is the intended behavior.

1st time: 2025-03-09T19:30:30,471 in JST  
2nd time: 2025-03-09T19:30:35,422 in JST

request body (both the first and second request had the same content)

```auto
{"merchant_id":"XXX","type":"terminal.checkout.updated","event_id":"XXX","created_at":"2025-03-09T10:30:27.991Z","data":{"type":"checkout","id":"XXX","object":{"checkout":{"amount_money":{"amount":7370,"currency":"JPY"},"app_id":"XXX","created_at":"2025-03-09T10:30:17.948Z","device_options":{"device_id":"XXX","skip_receipt_screen":true,"tip_settings":{"allow_tipping":false}},"id":"XXX","location_id":"XXX","payment_ids":["XXX"],"payment_options":{"autocomplete":true},"payment_type":"CARD_PRESENT","status":"COMPLETED","updated_at":"2025-03-09T10:30:27.991Z"}}}}

```

Yes, this is the intended behavior. The terminal.checkout.updated webhook event is triggered each time a Terminal checkout is updated. In your case, it seems like the checkout was updated twice in quick succession, hence the two webhook events. The webhook payload will be the same if the updates didn’t change the state of the checkout.
