Any spell of 5th level or lower cast from outside the barrier can't affect creatures or objects within it, even if the spell is cast using a higher level spell slot. Such a spell can target creatures and objects within the barrier, but the spell has no effect on them. Similarly, the area within the barrier is excluded from the areas affected by such spells.

The SendingStone review

The # Globe of Invulnerability spell is a powerful defensive option for Sorcerers and Wizards. The spell creates a magical dome around the caster that is impervious to lower-level spells cast by enemies. The spell requires concentration but can last up to one minute, giving the caster time to take control of the battle. However, the effectiveness of the spell diminishes as enemy spellcasters gain higher spell slots, making it less useful in higher-level combat. Overall, while it is a great tool for defensive purposes, it may not be as useful in all situations.
