RESTful integration - sensor names not correct

Configuration
1

Long-time user of Home Assistant; first time using the RESTful integration to capture multiple sensors from a single resource. I’m trying to name the sensors as shown in the example from the documentation:

… yet I am getting duplicate sensor names. I can’t seem to figure out why!

So here is my configuration:

First, in configuration.yaml:

rest: !include rest-sensors.yaml

Then in rest-sensors.yaml:

  - resource: https://api.covidactnow.org/v2/state/OH.json?apiKey=[shhh]
    scan_interval: 3600
    sensor:
      - name: "Ohio COVID Metrics"
        json_attributes_path: "$.metrics"
        json_attributes:
          - caseDensity
          - testPositivityRatio
          - infectionRate
          - icuCapacityRatio
          - vaccinationsInitiatedRatio
          - vaccinationsCompletedRatio
        value_template: '{{ value_json.lastUpdatedDate }}'
      - name: "Ohio COVID Risk"
        json_attributes_path: "$.riskLevels"
        json_attributes:
          - overall
          - caseDensity
          - testPositivityRatio
          - infectionRate
        value_template: '{{ value_json.lastUpdatedDate }}'

  - resource: https://api.covidactnow.org/v2/county/39041.json?apiKey=[shhh]
    scan_interval: 3600
    sensor:
      - name: "DelCo COVID Metrics"
        json_attributes_path: "$.metrics"
        json_attributes:
          - caseDensity
          - testPositivityRatio
          - infectionRate
          - vaccinationsInitiatedRatio
          - vaccinationsCompletedRatio
        value_template: '{{ value_json.lastUpdatedDate }}'
      - name: "DelCo COVID Risk"
        json_attributes_path: "$.riskLevels"
        json_attributes:
          - overall
          - caseDensity
          - testPositivityRatio
          - infectionRate
        value_template: '{{ value_json.lastUpdatedDate }}'

So I should have four sensors come out of this, right?

sensor.ohio_covid_metrics
sensor.ohio_covid_risk
sensor.delco_covid_metrics
sensor.delco_covid_risk

Instead I get the following:

sensor.delco_covid_metrics
sensor.delco_covid_risk
sensor.delco_covid_metrics_2
sensor.delco_covid_risk_2

Per the Developer Tools:

Am I doing something wrong with the integration syntax? In addition to the sensor naming issue, it looks like the (intended) ohio_covid_metrics sensor is failing to pull one of its listed attributes - icuCapacityRatio. It appears, instead, that the two DelCo sensors are each being applied twice against the two different resources. Not sure why.

Thanks in advance!
