Comment (by phanduynam):
@SirLouen As I said above, the problem is not the Google Search Console
crawl limit as it can be up to 50,000 URLs per sitemap. The problem is
that when you download data from Google Search Console, you can only view
and export 1,000 URLs per sitemap. If by default you have 10,000 URLs
divided into 5 sitemaps, you can only export up to 5,000 URLs because
WordPress has set the maximum sitemap limit to 2,000. To export all 10,000
URLs, you would have to set the limit for each sitemap to 1,000 URLs. This
is a serious data shortage problem for those who need to process the data,
the only solution is to change the code or install a plugin. Changing the
code is confusing and can be dangerous, and installing a plugin makes the
site heavier. Both of these methods are very labor intensive when someone
owns a large number of websites.
