For a project that I am currently working on, I am creating a chat application within a single page Vue application with a Laravel backend, and then I ran into this problem. I ran into an issue where as I would have users disconnect and reconnect to the chat instance (aka the Echo listeners), they would hear the same event multiple times.

Simply disconnect() and then re-instantiate the Echo object.

Then simply re-attach your listeners and you are good. In my case, I simply created a new Echo instance that I could destroy and re-create as needed for my chat application.
