Comment (by justinahinon):

 We've triaged this ticket during a test team scrub. For reference, here is
 the documentation for  the `multiple` attribute:
 https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/block-api
 /block-supports/#multiple.

 According to the documentation:

 ```A non-multiple block can be inserted into each post, one time only. For
 example, the built-in ‘More’ block cannot be inserted again if it already
 exists in the post being edited. A non-multiple block’s icon is
 automatically dimmed (unclickable) to prevent multiple instances.```

 So if the value of `multiple` is false, then only 1 instance can be in a
 single post.

 What is reported in the ticket seems to be the expected behaviour then
 (?).
