Google is Ghosting my articles more often after I started

I used to write slowly—1 or 2 articles a month— but I started writing 1 article a day from a few days ago, but now almost all my new articles are in the sandbox. Is google seeing unauthentic activity and therefore holding before giving me a ranking on new kws?

How long do such holds last?

Are the new articles indexed? The crawler has been a real issue since this year.

Btw. I have the same problem. Normally new articles/pages would start to rank well as well, but now they don't. It is like they don't have any authority. I noticed the same with some of my websites. Homepages kept ranking well, but inner pages/posts lost lots of rankings. Its weird.

Haven't you also started to over-optimize your articles? Or on the contrary to neglect them with the mass of additional work?
In general have rather used the term "sandbox" concerning a domain as a whole, if this is the case for an article, I have never seen it before. It could be a crawl budget issue or a technical bug as well.

Thank you for your answer!

Yes, they are indexed. I index them just after publishing. Then, they start getting views and sometimes clicks but after the first day, they end up in the sandbox. This started around 10-12 days ago. I am concerned.

I don't optimize that much. Kws are rarely in the top 500 words. I don't stuff kws or anything like that. I don't see how I am over-optimizing.
