my rankmath generated sitemap is not updating/ discovering newly created pages! what should I do?

[notabolished]

When I installed this plugin, it was working great. Now out of nowhere 😭😭 (and I don't know for how long this problem has been there), I'm having problems with some "style information""😞 😞 😞 😞 I have a problem which has not been covered by this video.

1. When I click on the sitemap link, this is the message I get: "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it."

What on earth does this 😭😭

2. Secondly, when I submit on search console, it detects no pages, but I have over 21 product pages, and other pages.

Please

The sitemap has been properly generated and submitted to Search Console, but 0 URLs have been discovered. When I test it with another tool, the sitemap is not detected. Similarly, when I test the indexing of a page, it is not indexed through the sitemap.
