Additional Information
This lock is as designed and can be removed using the arcpy.ClearWorkspaceCache() function as mentioned in the What's New in ArcGIS Pro 3.3 documentation.

The geoprocessing framework uses workspace caching to improve performance when running scripts or repeated processes. This improvement applies particularly to remote data sources such as enterprise geodatabases. Note: In some cases, workspace caching may result in schema locks. Use the Clear Workspace Cache tool to clear the cache and free any locks.Steps to Reproduce
