Angular mat-slider material v17 Error: More than one custom value accessor matches form control

Question

I've been in the process of migrating legacy components within my Angular application material v17, and I've encountered an issue with the component when integrating it with reactive forms. When attempting to utilize with a reactive form control, I'm encountering the error message: Error: More than one custom value accessor matches form control with unspecified name attribute

<mat-slider color="primary"
            min="1"
            max="10"
            step="1"
            discrete
            showTickMarks>
  <input formControlName="max_retries" matSliderThumb/>
</mat-slider>

-There's only a single instance of being used in the template.

-The error arises specifically when adding the formControlName="max_retries" attribute to the element inside for the purpose of binding it to a reactive form.

-No custom ControlValueAccessor implementations have been created for this component.
