Hi John,
Thanks for getting in touch with us.
I do not see the noindex tag added to those category archives you shared.
It is possible that the information you are seeing in GSC is outdated and you can verify the same from the last seen column.
You can confirm the URLs you aren’t set as noindex here:

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hi Todd,
That helps, however, taking look at the source code of the pages, you can see there’s a noindex appearing twice. Does this mean that the meta tag analyzer is wrong? The code surrounding noindex seems to be RankMath related:http://prntscr.com/rvfils
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
The noindex text shown on your screenshot relates to the admin bar options that are only visible when logged in. Search engines will only check the robots meta tag as shown below:
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
