I tried first level 2 then 5. The last line remained the same.

The problem resolved after I found one forgotten Mutt instance in
a paused state. After killing it another stuck Mutt woke and gave a read
error. After restarting Mutt it accessed Gmail just fine.

I presume the problem was caused by Mutt blocking its own header
cache. In the debug log the next event after selecting Inbox refers to
header cache:

[2023-02-02 02:17:21] 4> a0005 STATUS "[Gmail]/Drafts" (MESSAGES)
a0006 SELECT "INBOX"
[2023-02-02 02:17:21] mboxcache: hcache uidvalidity 1, uidnext 4489, modseq 0
[2023-02-02 02:17:21] 4< * STATUS "[Gmail]/Drafts" (MESSAGES 0)
