If the mirror has not changed its contents since your last update, apt
will only show *checking* Release files, but won't show downloading new
index files.

For instance, these are shown without an architecture:

Get:1 http://security.debian.org buster/updates InRelease [39.1 kB]
Hit:2 http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster InRelease       
Get:3 http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster-updates InRelease [49.3 kB]
Get:4 http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster-backports InRelease [46.7 kB]

But these ones are shown with the one:

Ign:6 http://security.debian.org buster/updates/main arm64 Packages
Ign:7 http://security.debian.org buster/updates/main amd64 Packages
...
Ign:10 http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster-updates/main amd64 Packages.diff/Index
Ign:11 http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster-updates/main arm64 Packages.diff/Index


Also, if you need to check your multiarch status, the following does it
for me (any meaningful library should do it):

apt policy libc6:*
