Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
The sitemap is working fine and is not blocked from any bots.
Are you seeing any errors in Google and Yandex?
You can share a screenshot of the error with us so we can check.
We look forward to helping you.
Can’t see how to attach a screen here, sorry, but google shows there is 0 links in the sitemap, Yandex says it is not available at all. very confusing.
Hello,
You can share screenshots using https://imgbb.com/
However, if Google Search Console is showing Discovered URLs 0, it just means that the URLs in the sitemap were already found by Googlebot by other means, instead of via the sitemap. For example, Googlebot may have found the URLs from internal links or possibly from links on another site.
If you have submitted the sitemap recently, you need to wait for Google to crawl the sitemap.
Also, ensure that the sitemaps are excluded from caching:

Once done, resubmit the sitemap in Google and Yandex.
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
