I faced same problem in last month when I was working on STM32L4R5 controller. The checkpoints for this kind of problem as follows

1. check hardware connections of debug pins, if there is any short in these pins then debugger voltage drops abruptly when accessing other GPIO pin and above error is displayed on screen.
2. check power to core, slight fluctuations in core voltage may result with this kind of error.

In my case, problem 1 was the reason behind this error which is removed by simply removing short circuit between debugger pin and GPIO pin used for toggling status.

Custom hardware? What STM32 part, specifically?

Reprogramming or disabling pins associated with JTAG/SWD connectivity?

Try with main() just having a while(1) loop and NOTHING else. Enable other code one line at a time until problem occurs.
