Google Search Console shows errors for URLs redirecting to a trailing slash version – Why?

Hey everyone,
I'm running into an issue with Google Search Console, and I'm hoping someone here can help me understand what's going on.

I’m getting indexing errors(Page with redirect) for a few URLs without a trailing slash.

When I try to access these URLs, they automatically redirect (301) to their trailing slash versions. This is the expected behavior, and it ensures consistent URL structure across my site.

The problem is that:

• I don’t have these non-trailing slash URLs listed anywhere on my site or in my sitemap.
• Yet, Google somehow picked them up and is now flagging these redirects as errors.

My questions are:

1. Why does Google consider these redirects a problem when it’s standard behavior to use a trailing slash for consistency?
2. Where could Google be finding these non-trailing slash URLs if they aren’t listed anywhere on my site or in the sitemap?
3. Do I need to do anything about this, or should I just leave it as is since the redirect is intentional and correct?

Any insights or advice would be appreciated!
