SharePoint Library - Invisibile Metadata

We fixed it by restoring permission inheritance on ..Lists/TaxonomyHiddenList, so it now inherits permissions from the parent site.
According to Microsoft documentation, this list is supposed to automatically inherit permissions from the site. I don't know how it ended up with unique permissions configured and with no permissions assigned. The logs in Purview also don't give any hint.

Fantastic! Thanks so much for this. Deleting unique permissions on https://<site>.sharepoint.com/Lists/TaxonomyHiddenList worked for me too. Crazy how this issue just happened all of a sudden around the same time.
