Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
In this case, please follow the steps below for initial troubleshooting:
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) Then, remove all of your sitemaps and resubmit your main sitemap only by following the steps in this link: https://rankmath.com/kb/submit-sitemap-to-google/
If you have followed the steps above and the sitemap is not updated yet, try adding the filter code below to your theme’s functions.php file:
add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');
You may refer to this guide on how to add filters to your website: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/
Then, flush the sitemap cache again, and then resubmit your sitemap to your Google Search Console.
If the issue persists, let us know here so we can further investigate the issue.
Thank you.
