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.
For initial troubleshooting, ensure that your sitemaps are not getting cached (if not yet):
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 issue still persists, please try adding this filter to your active theme’s functions.php file:
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');
Then resubmit your main sitemap and give Google some time to re-crawl it. You can monitor the “Last read/crawl date” column in the sitemap index as it will update the date when Google crawls your sitemap.
Hope that helps.
Thank you.
