Reply to Google keep accessing old redirects

Those sites are ruining Google searches.

The whole website has been redirected 1:1, every new URLs matching the old ones.
However, I have noticed for some time that in GSC, we have quite a few pages "not indexed" because they are pages with redirects. This is because:
- For some pages, Google finds both versions of the URL with "/" and without it, and since the version with the trailing slash redirects to the version without (which is also the version in the sitemap), Google sees it with a redirect. However, the versions without the trailing slash are indexed and good, that's why I thought I shouldn't worry about it. The strange thing is how Google found those versions of the URL ending with trailing slash. We literally have no internal links pointing to them. We also tried to inspect the URLs to see the referring pages, but we couldn't find any URL ending with "/" on those pages.
- Also, since we have migrated the domain, Google sees all the redirects we did on the old domain
and shows them in Coverage as excluded due to "Page with redirect." I think this is normal since those URLs have been actually redirected. The actual and final versions of the URLs are indexed. But why does Google prefer to show those old URLs that have been previously redirected on the old domain quite a long time ago and display them as excluded pages in GSC?

6 months sounds insanely long for a domain migration. I hope that is not the case as we can barely "survive" that long without generating revenue.
Any insights from other webmasters that actually did a domain migration? What was your experience?

I mean, out of 300 pages, 8 pages are first on Google and the rest out of 100. How Google can rank only 3% of my pages, and all those 3% be 1st while the rest can't be found anywhere on search.
And I'm sorry to hear your rankings haven't been recovered. This is really worrying.
