Hello,
The PRO subscription in your account (s***@p**************) is currently canceled and has ended on January 2023.
The issue here is that your Rank Math PRO plugin is way too outdated and to update it, you need to have an active PRO subscription.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any other questions.
