Hello,
I checked your sitemap page and it seems to have loaded properly and the last post was 02-03. Could you please confirm if this is the latest post you have?
For initial troubleshooting, can you 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/
If the steps above don’t work please apply this filter code into your theme’s functions.php file to completely remove Rank Math’s sitemap file from caching.
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');
Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you on this one.
Thanks for your reply,
You are right las post apears on the site map now (it take some time to apear)
But Google webmaster tools still saying:
Coverage
Indexed, not submitted in sitemap
Is that normal?
Hello,
The Coverage report in the search console is slower and it may show older issues that might have already been resolved.
Indexed, Not Submitted in Sitemap is not an issue, it only means that Google has already indexed the posts/pages but not through the sitemap.
It is possible that Google is crawling your website and indexing the posts, pages 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.
