Prevent "Do Until" from running extra cycles when condition is met

So my flow is meant to delete all duplicate found of a certain value looping through a list; the idea is to check the number of occurrence of the duplicate value (lets say 3 duplicates) and then keep deleting until only 1 is left.

The number of duplicate if first taken before the "Do Until" step and that is set as a variable input and the value is reduced using the "set decrement" step in the "Do until" step

Initially i kept getting the error so i added a delay in hopes that it reduces the flow cycle speed, sometimes it runs ones and exits the loop with no error as seen in the picture below.

And another time it runs multiple times (sometimes 4 or 6 times) before eventually running into an error

and the error is

I decided to add an extra check within the "Do Until" step; at first it went well as seen

But on subsequent runs, it fails with attempts as high as 60 cycles with the same error as above

Please how can i rectify this error?
