Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re facing issues with auto-indexing and receiving a 403 error. It seems like the API key might not be getting validated properly, causing the issue to reoccur.
To address this, you can try deselecting the auto-submission feature for a while to stop submitting your URLs automatically. You can do this by navigating to Rank Math SEO → Instant Indexing → Settings from your WordPress dashboard and unchecking the Posts, Media, and Pages options under the Auto-Submit Post Types setting.
If the issue persists, it’s possible that another site on your server is submitting a lot of URLs to the IndexNow API, using up the quota assigned to your shared IP address. In this case, you may need to wait it out or contact your host for further assistance.
I hope this helps resolve the issue. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to our dedicated support team here.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
