recommendation: ARIA based labeling schemes are useful for providing an accessible name for an interactive element when there is no available text for the element. However, it is only appropriate to use ARIA label attributes for elements that someone is expected to interact with in some way. If an element does not receive focus and cannot be interacted with it should not be labelled in this way. Refer to this W3C ARIA Authoring Practices Guide article for more information about accessible names, "Providing Accessible Names and Descriptions" - https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/practices/names-and-descriptions/ In this instance the arialabelledby attribute is not appropriate and should be removed. The collapsed section of the accordion will not receive focus only the control element for the accordion.
