Abstract We settle a part of the conjecture by Bandini and Valentino [‘On structure slopes Drinfeld cusp forms’, Exp. Math. 31 (2) (2022), 637–651] for $S_{k,l}(\Gamma _0(T))$ when $\mathrm {dim}\ S_{k,l}(\mathrm {GL}_2(A))\leq 2$ . frame check primes $\mathfrak {p}$ higher levels {p}\mathfrak {m}$ , show that level {p} \mathfrak does not hold if {m}\ne A$ $(k,l)=(2,1)$
