Cleaning Up Duplicate Union Types in Effect Return Types

Is there a good way to clean up the return types of Effects? I often get this weird union of two identical types when catching errors.

const paymentPoll: Effect.Effect<{
    checked: number;
    updated: number;
    errors: number;
} | {
    checked: number;
    updated: number;
    errors: number;
}, never, DbCtx>

const paymentPoll: Effect.Effect<{
    checked: number;
    updated: number;
    errors: number;
} | {
    checked: number;
    updated: number;
    errors: number;
}, never, DbCtx>
