 caller is the [https://wordpress.org/plugins/maintenance/ Maintenance]
 plugin but it looks like the caller is not really at fault here.  I would
 guess you have some other plugin installed which disables XML-RPC?

 There is no such plugin active but the hoster blocks calls to XML-RPC.php

 I will report it to the maintanenance mode plugin developer.

 I still believe that checking in the esc_url function for being null would
 not lead to all the plugins and theme developers to add their checks
 before calling esc_url. Which would be preferable.

 Until php 8.1 there was no warning and the return would still be a empty
 url. What is against checking in the esc_url function?

 Thank you for the replies and support.
