This phenomenon is happening to a TON of people here including myself. Im having the 4 page showing problem on every site about 6 weeks after launch.
Starts fantastic and then suddenly does this.
However, this is only for a period of time, do NOT panic or rush into any kind of link building.
If you remain calm and prove you are not a spammer, after 6-12 months you will escape the sandbox with trust and suddenly start to rank overnight and it will keep growing.
Do not burn your probation by panicing and building links...
EDIT: Nevermind OP, seems you already burned yourself. damn.

Is there any indication as to what might trigger the 6-12 month sandbox?

its something all new domains go through. its unavoidable. simply a probationary period where you are being examined if you are a spammer and building your own links.
i completely stay off link building and let the age do its thing.
Signs are you will not rank for almost any of your target keywords or on page 10+ and sometimes not even for your brand.
You will also have this dreaded 4 page indexed using site: operator.
When you suddenly get boost and show up for more and more keywords if you've proved you are not a spammer by engaging in link building primarily you will shoot up in 6-12 months.
Too many people get eager and begin building links the moment they launch and either make it very short term and crash and burn or never rank at all.
Just produce content and remain calm knowing in 6-12 months you will get your exposure. At this point you can begin making a link or 2 a month.
Infact the less often you build them the more effective they will be.
You can reach page 2 or end of page 1 passing the sandbox probation with no links alone, and then to get top 1-3, make a link every 2-3 weeks from highest authority you can find.

So essentially, new websites will never rank if a competitor is monitoring serps and spams links to a new website that has just appeared in the niche?

normally after sandbox if you didn't spam backlinks you will get out of this if its happening with new clean domain, although sandbox ranges depending on niche so it may be longest 6-12 months.
for OP refer to my above post he has spammed his site to death so its obvious why he has this problem.

For my site (with no external backlinks, and I'm using rank math index plugin) thought the site: operator is showing 10 indexed pages out of 150, (earlier all 150 got indexed), but my site individual pages are still ranking (now rank improvement) as they were earlier (when all 150 pages got indexed). So there seems to be no correlation between the site operator showing 4 or 6 or 10 pages indexed, and ranking of the non-showing pages (though indexed separately).
IF the site operator shows 10 pages indexed, and rest 140 pages are de-indexed or not ranking at all, then the site can be stated as sandboxed/penalized. But if not, then it is a google related bug!

Does it concern expired domains as well?

Has any of your domains got stuck in the site: 4 page penalty forever?

Now the command site: displays 3 pages only. Is it a part of that sandbox issue with expired domains?

I have same problem and probably i'm sandboxed as well, 280 pages indexed but I had 500+ keywords now dropped at 6, the organic traffic as well, i have no penalties from google. This happened after the google update on March 6th. If anyone with more experience could offer more info, the domain is doggozila dot com

The same thing has happened to me, but it's nothing to worry about.

You need to check for technical issues like crawl errors, site speed, and duplicate content. Additionally, ensure your sitemap is up-to-date and submit it to Google Search Console. Consider reaching out to Google for further assistance.
