Hello,
Everytime we submit urls on the instant indexing, we get a 429 error message. We have checked our logs and nothing is showing up that could help us fix the issue. We have tried turning off Auto submit, and it’s still coming up with the error. Would really appreciate any assistance, thank you.

Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the 429 error when submitting URLs for instant indexing. The HTTP 429 response code means "Too Many Requests," indicating that your IP address has sent too many requests to the IndexNow API within a short period. This can happen if you exceed the quota of requests, which is set at 10,000 URLs per HTTP POST request.
Here are a few steps you can take to resolve this issue:
-
Stop Submitting URLs Temporarily: Since you are receiving a 429 error, it is advisable to stop submitting your URLs to the IndexNow API for a while.
-
Disable Auto-Submission: You mentioned that you have already tried turning off auto-submit, but please ensure that you have deselected all post types in the settings. You can do this by navigating to Rank Math SEO → Instant Indexing → Settings and clicking the Select / Deselect All button until the Posts, Media, and Pages options are unchecked.
-
Check for Other Sites on the Same Server: If you have other websites on the same server or are on shared hosting, they may also be using up the quota, leading to the 429 error.
If the issue persists after trying these steps, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so that a human agent from our support team can assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!
