Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.
The errors are not related to Rank Math. Please follow this guide to fix the issue: https://rankmath.com/kb/meta-data-not-saving/
If the issue persists, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/
You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Hello,
We’ve checked your site and found that Rank Math REST Routes that we use to update the data are being blocked by your Sucuri firewall and most likely this is why you’re facing this issue.

In order to resolve this issue, please try whitelisting the following Rank Math REST Routes that are being blocked on your firewall.
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateRedirection
You may try following the link below to learn how you can whitelist Rank Math REST Routes in Sucuri Website Firewall: https://docs.sucuri.net/website-firewall/whitelist-and-blacklist/whitelisting-a-file-folder/#how-to-whitelist-a-file-folder
Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
I have whitelisted the URLs and keywords not disappearing again.
But when I analyze the page, it does not see meta description, but I added it. Kindly see this screenshot https://prnt.sc/CqLUucOSgDPP
