How can I render comment pager on the top and the bottom of the comments portion of the page

Question

When comments are numerous on a node and you have a high comments per page setting, you have to scroll a lot to get to the pager. My users have requested pager at top as well as bottom of the comments list (not the top of the page) on a default node page.

To clarify

Current page layout

• Title
• Content
• Comments
• Pager
• New comment form

The desired result is

• Title

• Content

• Pager

• Comments

• Pager

• New comment form

I've done this in the past in Drupal 7, but I can't figure out what template to use in Drupal 9.

I tried this code in field--comment.html.twig, without success.

{% if pager %}
  {{ pager }}
{% endif %}

None of the other templates in my theme seem to render the pager either, but has to be somewhere. I have Twig debugging on which provided some clues. I have checked page.html.twig, node.html.twig, and comment.html.twig as well as the field template. None of them seem to render the pager.

I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but obvious or not, I'm stumped.

The pager can be duplicated in the field--comment.html.twig if you correctly identify the pager (which I did not in the question).

{% if comments.pager %}
 {{ comments.pager }}
{% endif %}

Tested in my custom theme and also in Olivero.
