Hello,
Thank you for contacting the support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Please add this filter in your active theme’s functions.php file:
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');
After that, remove all your sitemaps from your GSC and resubmit only the primary sitemap (sitemap_index.xml). See if this resolves the issue.
Please note that it is completely normal for your sitemap to take time before it gets crawled or updated by Google. It depends on a lot of factors. Your posting frequency + the domain authority are just two of the many factors Google considers when crawling your site. Google assigns a crawl budget to your website depending on these factors (especially these two) and that has a direct effect on how soon or how late your sitemap gets updated on the Google Search Console.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hello,
Crawling and indexing of the website depends on the authority and crawl budget of the website.
Google does not crawl the sitemaps immediately after you publish the post, you need to wait for Google to crawl the sitemap.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
