Hello. I'm experiencing an issue with IndexNow on XF 2.3.10. Initially. IndexNow error: [429], and according to the information, this is an error from IndexNow indicating that the allowed request limit has been exceeded. My question is whether this is indeed the case, because their documentation states that they have a daily limit of up to 10,000 URLs, but my forum does not generate such activity per day. My only suspicion is the robots.txt configuration where I blocked pagination for posts, but /posts/ itself was not blocked. I specified the maximum like this:

Disallow: /#post-
Disallow: /?page=

Even if it were interfering, it would give a different error. Should I be concerned, or can I ignore the error?

Same here. Started a few days ago but was throwing an error for each post made today. I did not change or reprogram anything (and would have no clue how to do so).

Same here.

To my knowledge, it won't hurt anything. You could disable it and search engines will still index your content just fine.
