Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Indexed, Not Submitted in Sitemap is not an issue, it only means that Google has already indexed the posts but not through the sitemap.
It is possible that Google is crawling your website and indexing the posts through the internal links on your website and not through the sitemap, and as a result, the crawl budget for your website is exhausted and Google is not able to discover the URLs through your sitemap.
There is nothing to worry about as long as the posts/pages are getting crawled and indexed.
I hope this helps.
Looking forward to helping you.
Thanks for your feedback.
But why are the pages marked as “Excluded” in Search Console? Also, why are pages marked as “Found and currently not indexed” even though they are in the XML and live?

Hello,
For the excluded pages you should be able to see more information about the exclusion if you check the details of the pages under this section.
As for the other situation, it means that Google has found and crawled the pages but decided not to index them.
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.
Moreover, Google has said multiple times that a good percentage of a website might never get indexed.
It is normal for 20% of a website to not be indexed, as per Google’s John Mueller:

Finally, it all boils down to the quality of the content, and if your content improves Google’s overall search index.
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

With that said, here’s a good article on how to ensure that your website gets indexed regularly:

Hope this helps clarify your doubts.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
