Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
To fix this, make sure the service account is listed as Owner for the site in Search Console.
Please follow the steps illustrated here to solve the issue:

Looking forward to helping you.
1. Do I need to install another plugin? the google instant index…
2. If I don’t install is ok?, I mean I can check the google check console
3. Is there a way to stop the “ping” or the checking everytime for nothing?
Hello,
To fix the 403 error, head over to Rank Math > Instant Indexing > IndexNow API settings > API Key > Change key
Once done, clear the website cache and try submitting URLs.
1. IndexNow(default Instant Indexing module) submits the URLs to only Bing and Yandex.
For Google, you need to install and configure the Instant Indexing API plugin:

2. If you don’t install the plugins, the URLs won’t be submitted to the API, however, the URLs can be crawled and indexed by Google.
3. Head over to Rank Math > Instant Indexing > Settings > Auto-Submit Post Types and select a post type that you dont edit or publish frequently.
At least one checkbox needs to be checked.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
