Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
I checked the sitemap, it is returning a 404 error.
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:

3. Clear your website cache, and resubmit the sitemap in the Search Console.
However, the loss of traffic could be a result of the Google algorithm updates.
We recommend going through this article which contains information and tips to recover from an algorithm update: https://rankmath.com/blog/google-algorithm-update-recovery/
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
