Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
Please note that each time Google uses a sitemap to find a URL, the number of discovered URLs increases by one.
Sitemaps are only one of the few methods Google uses to discover your URLs, so it is fine for your articles to be referred to by other URLs on your site.
Also, when the count of the Discovered URLs is zero or does not match your actual sitemap in your Google Search Console, it means Google didn’t use the sitemap to find the URLs.
Here’s a link for more information:

Looking forward to helping you.
