WordPress pagination with WP_Query not working

This is my code.

 <?php
                $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
                $next_args = array(
                    'post_type' => 'articles',
                    'post_status' => 'publish',
                    'posts_per_page' => 3, // post per page
                    'paged' => $paged,
                );
                $next_the_query = new WP_Query($next_args);
                if ($next_the_query->have_posts()) :
                ?>

                    <?php while ($next_the_query->have_posts()) : $next_the_query->the_post(); ?>
                        <h3><?php the_title() ?></h3>
                    <?php endwhile; ?>

                    <div class="pagination">
                    <?php
                    $total_pages = $next_the_query->max_num_pages;

                    if ($total_pages > 1){
                
                        $current_page = max(1, get_query_var('paged'));
                
                        echo paginate_links(array(
                            'base' => get_pagenum_link(1) . '%_%',
                            'format' => '/page/%#%',
                            'current' => $current_page,
                            'total' => $total_pages,
                            'prev_text'    => __('« prev'),
                            'next_text'    => __('next »'),
                        ));
                    }
                    ?>
                </div>

                <?php endif; ?>

I get links like this, 1 2 3 4 next ».

But unfortunately when I click a link I get 404 not found error

This is my site original link,

www.mysite.com/blog/

and getting 404 for www.mysite.com/blog/page/2 link

    Finally, I found an answer and adding it here for future users,

    I had to change query parameter from 'paged' to 'page'.

    <?php
    $page = (get_query_var('page')) ? get_query_var('page') : 1;
    $next_args = array(
         'post_type' => 'articles',
         'post_status' => 'publish',
         'posts_per_page' => 3, // post per page
         'paged' => $page,
    );

    Here also I changed 'paged' to 'page'. And changed format like 'format' => '?page=%#%', And also kept 'base' option of paginate_links array as default

    $current_page = max(1, get_query_var('page'));

echo paginate_links(array(
    'format' => '?page=%#%',
    'current' => $current_page,
    'total' => $total_pages,
    'prev_text'    => __('« prev'),
    'next_text'    => __('next »'),
));
