Duplicate Content on a page that isn't duplicate?
-
So, I've been working on a site for a while, and they recently had one of their blog posts marked as "duplicate content" on Moz Pro:
https://ashlandbreastpumps.com/blog/breast-milk-storage-guidelines/
Reviewing this post, there's nothing here to suggest that it should be considered duplicate. Link is marked canonical, there are no weird domain shenanigans to cause confusion, the content is distinct, and there's a lot of content there that prevents it from being overcome by coding white noise (So "more content" wouldn't be a solution here). So I'm trying to figure out why this particular post was flagged. Did Moz Pro make a mistake?

You could hit mark as fixed if you believe this is a non issue really.

Except Moz doesn't explain how it's duplicate. The post itself, when compared to other pages, looks quite different. There's a canonical tag in the section. There's over 2000 words in this particular page, which should rule out the "not enough content" issue that sometimes happens with these. Finally, there are no weird (sub)domain issues that could be a cause, since it's on the primary domain.
The lack of an explanation as to what's causing them to raise this flag is at issue here, especially when it shouldn't be raising it.
-
It does not. All it says is that there is a Duplicate Content issue without specifying what is duplicate about it. See screencap.
-
it would have been marked duplicate if the content is 70% similar to other pages on site. I have seen this being reported for my site as well.
-
It should list which part or text is duplicate and from where.

Keywords showed volume before but now they say 'no data available'
Keywords showed volume before but now they say 'no data available'. And this is happening with common words like "prints" - I'm dead certain this keyword should not have 'no data available'. What's going on? How do I reset or fix this? I only have 12 days left of my trial and I can't even use the feature I need.

Crawl still in process for 3 days. Not sure why the site isn't being crawled
I added a new site to the crawl, but it seems to be stalled. It was supposed to crawl Feb 19, but it is still in process Feb 22. It tried to crawl the site and there was a robots.txt issue, but that issue was resolved way before the 19th. Not sure what is going on. this is for the clear lake campaign.

I was charged $1 when I was on a 30 day free trial or right after. Why is this? I don't understand what I got charged for when I was under the impression that I was using a free trial.
I'm really concerned about this. I had canceled the free trial early. It didn't pass a month. I have no idea why I was charged.

I'm tired of logging in to MOZ
I like this site, I really do, which is why I visit multiple times a day. But I grow weary of these premium sites that require me to log in multiple times a day. This morning I was simultaneously working at ordercup.com, strengthcoach.com, and moz.com, and all three log me out at every turn. Argh!!! What's worse is that some MOZ pages think I'm logged in and others don't. I don't fully understand the logic behind the curtain, so I wander from page to page trying to get the login in sync. Why can't these sites work like lynda.com where I can stay logged in for days and weeks? To top it off, LastPass rolled out a new release that broke auto-login. All this logging in is getting in the way of me getting anything done.
