This started to happen to me within the last 24 hours too.
What is your response you are receiving?
"urlNotificationMetadata": {"url": "https://url"}
there is no longer a latestUpdate field and URL_UPDATED type.

Could be a problem on G’s side then..?
GSC fetch as Google seems working, so the problem is with the API I think

Yeah, been seeing similar issues lately with the indexing API. I think it’s not just you - Google has been tweaking things since early September.
The problem is that it doesn't come after the first API call to a new domain. That is, there is nothing to ban for, since it has never crawled the pages.
That's why it's unclear. Either these are serious changes, or these are just temporary problems on Google's side.

Yesterday, still during the day, I tested Indexing API for new domains and a new Google account - it worked.
Today I do the same thing - new domain, new Google account and it doesn't work. Same with you, it doesn't work. After this change Google.
What Google says and what is in reality are two different things.
So we have to do this step for ALL websites? Google are crazy? Now I have to modify all my GSC for all my websites? This is not make sens

That it would be the first time, Google often does this kind of action
Anyway I think I will stop using the API function, Google in the interview at the beginning of September said that the API function should be used only for sites with temporary posting of job ads or streaming videos. In all other cases it will not be taken into consideration and the sitemap must be used instead of the API.That it would be the first time, Google often does this kind of action

So I think it’s better to stop using it and use sitemap, or fetch as google inside GSC.

Most Welcome to the BHW!
The problem is that the indexing api does not work (new service account, new domain, working domain zone, new IP, etc.).
I noticed that the Google response has changed and Googlebot does not come. Has anyone encountered this problem?
