Hello,
Thanks for getting in touch with us.
Please note that the instant indexing API should be used on live streaming and job posting websites.
For all other websites, it only guarantees crawling – not indexing.
Please note that it is completely normal for a newly published post/page/website to take time before it gets crawled or indexed 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 indexing some new URL. 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 content can get indexed.
You can also check for noindex tag here to rule out that your page isn’t getting indexed due to a mistake in plugin settings:
https://smallseotools.com/meta-tags-analyzer/If noindex is not present, then it is just a waiting game before Google decides to include the URL in the index. No SEO plugin can force Google to index something they don’t want to.
With that said, we have found that barring any issues like copied/DMCA/low quality content issues – Google usually indexes posts within a week or two. So, we request you to kindly wait.
Google even says that on their official website:

Please check this article where one of the Google employees mentioned:
“If your site relies on manual index submission for normal content, you need to significantly improve your site. Search console does not fix your site, you need to do that yourself.” – JohnMu
