YMMV but I've had similar loops during login that were resolved by trying to login in incognito mode. And if it works, then clear all your cookies / reboot / try again in the main browser.
There's something broken in google's auth security system.

Maybe it's more "secure", but the situation is strikingly similar to a hacker changing your passwords.
So glad I switched to ProtonMail a long time ago and decentralize my data across different services. One's life should not be left in the hands of The Google.
I once recorded and made a GIF out of it :D :_D :_(
"Account disabled 'myemail@gmail.com', We noticed unusual activity in your Google Account and locked it to protect your information. Learn more" and a button "Try to restore".
And now I got: "Too many failed attempts, Unavailable because of too many failed attempts. Try again in a few hours.".
At least I got a new message.
It sounds like you have 2FA enabled so an account takeover is very unlikely. It sounds like you haven't violated the TOS in some egregious way, so actual ban is unlikely.
Most likely is there's some type of crazy cookie thing going on that is causing the auth system to vomit. It's shocking that this happens, but alas.
