My website https://trackstatus.in/ sitemap couldn’t fetch and read by Google Search Console. Previously it was working fine. I live my site on 17 May 2023 and submitted it on 20 May 2023.
The last read date of the sitemap showing on GSC is 7/23/23. After that, I am facing issues in indexing my new post. And it is affecting my website performance. I don’t know how to fix HTTP 403 error.
I have seen rank math guidelines on this URL: https://rankmath.com/kb/couldnt-fetch-error-google-search-console/
But still, I am confused and afraid to rename the site map file. Does it affect ownership?
And as a newbie, this procedure is difficult for me.
Please help in this regard.

Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
We’ve checked your sitemaps, and they are working fine.
Also, your posts and pages are already indexed on the search results page
Moreover, not all sitemaps are processed by Google. Not necessarily because there is something wrong with the sitemap.
Even a perfect sitemap may not be processed by Google.
Most of the time it’s simply still sitting in the queue waiting for processing. Remember Google are processing millions of sitemap daily, sometimes it takes time to get to yours. But for whatever reason, Google simply never gets around to some sitemaps. It just doesn’t think it is worth it.
And Search Console sometimes shows ‘Pending’ as ‘couldn’t fetch’ incorrectly. You can check the replies of Google experts for the Couldn’t Fetch(especially for the TLDs except for .com) issues on the following threads:
