Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Can you please try to follow the steps below and see if that works for you?
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/
3. If the above steps don’t seem to work, kindly apply the following filter to your site.
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');
Here’s how you can add filter/hook to your WordPress site:

Let us know how it goes.
Thank you.
Hello,
Thank you very much ! I followed the steps you provided, and it seems to be working now.
However, I just noticed that the posts I publish are no longer visible on Google. I’m really lost and don’t know what to do anymore.
Thank you.
Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
Could you please share the affected post URL/s so we can check?
Meanwhile, try running the URLs using the URL Inspection Tool of your GSC to know their status:

Looking forward to helping you.
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback, it’s become systematic, with each publication I have this problem. I publish, GSC takes a long time to index whereas before it was instantaneous, then after 3 hours it’s indexed but impossible to find it in google…you have to wait 24 hours…
here’s an example from today: https://pausehardware.com/zalman-t3-plus-nouveau-boitier-micro-atx/
Thank you in advance,
Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
Please note that Instant Indexing helps your website’s pages and content to be crawled instantly.
However, using Instant Indexing does not always result in the indexation of the content as it may take anywhere from minutes to days or even weeks before a URL is indexed. It doesn’t guarantee that your pages will show up in the search results, but you can still use it on your website.
Moreover, Google assigns a crawl budget to your website depending on these factors (especially these two) and that has a direct effect on how soon or how late your content can get indexed. It depends on a lot of factors. Your posting frequency + the domain authority are just two of the many factors Google considers when indexing some new URLs.

Looking forward to helping you.
