    Hello,

    Thanks for getting back.

    I checked your sitemap with the XML Validator tool and it is being validated without any issues.

    Please follow these steps:
    1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

    2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/

    Then delete all your previously submitted sitemaps from GSC and resubmit your main sitemap(sitemap_index.xml) and wait for Google to crawl.

    That should fix the issue. Please let me know if that does not. We are here to assist.
