Description
In Japanese grammar it is not possible to combine the 未然形 of られる twice – for example instead of 食べられられる ❌ it would be correct to say 食べられることができる ⭕. Attached is a screenshot showing Yomitan attempting to deinflect a typoed verb as potential-passive which is impossible.

This should be relatively easy to fix, and seems logical, but just to be sure, could you find any source that this form is impossible in all cases?

食べられられる ❌

That is possible.
