Google’s John Mueller answered a question about why a Search Console was providing a sitemap fetch error even though server logs show that GoogleBot successfully fetched it.
The question was asked on Reddit. The person who started the discussion listed a comprehensive list of technical checks that they did to confirm that the sitemap returns a 200 response code, uses a valid XML structure, indexing is allowed and so on.
The sitemap is technically valid in every way but Google Search Console keeps displaying an error message about it.
