already been having vs been having

Both "already been having" and "been having" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Already been having" implies that the action has been ongoing for a period of time up to the present moment, while "been having" simply indicates the action has been happening without specifying a duration. The choice between the two depends on whether you want to emphasize the duration of the action or not.
