Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
I’ve checked your sitemaps, and they seem to be working fine.
Each time Google uses a sitemap to find a URL, the count of the Discovered URLs increases by one. When the count of the Discovered URLs is zero, it means Google didn’t use the sitemap to find the URLs.
Please note that if the URLs are getting discovered by other means, then the discovered URLs in the sitemap section can be zero. It mostly happens when you have good internal linking or use the Instant Indexing plugin. Can you please confirm if that’s the case on your site?
Here’s a link for more information:

Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
Yes I used Instant Indexing plugin.
Hello,
When you use Instant Indexing on your site, the URLs get submitted to Google by the Indexing API and that’s why Google does not discover those URLs from the sitemap, and most of the time it shows zero discovered URLs. It isn’t an issue and is done to save the crawl budget of your site.
Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you.
