Sitemap activate robots that broke down my server

Hello, I had a big issue with Rank Math.

Last week, I have activated your plugin in 3 of my blogs with no trouble. But, yesterday, when I activated the sitemap, the server went down.

We received lots of petitions form all kinds of bots: Googlebot, Bing, Semrush, Majestic, Cocolyze, babbar.tech, and so on.

As well, I switched on the “Ping Search Engines” in the sitemap settings.

We had to put offline all our blogs and could de-activated the sitemap on 2 of our blogs, to save CPU for our corporation pages. Now, we only have one sitemap activated on an offline blog. But, we can’t enter the Admin because when we switch it online, the CPU falls.

Moreover, we had blocked all the bots, except Googlebot.

To sum up, there is any help/piece of advice, on how to not be impacted by this enormous quantity of bots?
