Tanks at the sixth time? That rings a bell: "The current rule for this
is that the first five executions are done with custom plans[...]" from
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/sql-prepare.html
And your functions create prepared statements under the hood:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/plpgsql-implementation.html#PLPGSQL-PLAN-CACHING
I guess you should visit
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/runtime-config-query.html#GUC-PLAN-CACHE_MODE
and try if plan_cache_mode = force_custom_plan helps here.
