Does having multiple <title> tags due to SVGs cause issues?

I currently have a website that uses SVG images. Those images have their own <title> tags [developer.mozilla.org ].
Does that cause or does anyone notice the correlation of any issues because of those <title> tags?

I too have a site that uses svg extensively and I have had no issues with the title tags.
Note that the svg titles, are similar to the <a /a> titles. That is they are used to display a short snippet of text on hover, this is not at all the same as the <title> tag that is used in the head.

Wait, wait. Do you mean <title> tags--of which there should be exactly one, located in the <head>--or do you mean the title attribute, which can be attached to any element you like?

It is a <title> tag within the <svg> tag. But it is equivalent to the title atttribute in html, and not the same as <title> tag used in the head of the document.
