I tried indexing like 6 pages back to back, now GSC is showing this error: Oops something went wrong we had a problem submitting your indexing request please try again later.. Am I screwed now? How can I fix it? Do I just wait? Have any of you encountered this problem?

Thank you for any possible help
 
Give it some time, GSC glitches can resolve on their own. If it persists, try resubmitting gradually or use Fetch as Google for individual pages.

Thanks. I'll give it a week before I try again. I've heard this happens when you use the index tool too frequently. Some people claim it takes 4 weeks to resolve. Hope it's shorter than that.
 
Wait a few days before retrying, reduce the number of requests, and ensure your URLs are correctly formatted. If the problem persists, consider contacting support.
 
You're not screwed! This issue with Google Search Console (GSC) is fairly common, especially when submitting multiple indexing requests in quick succession. Here are a few steps to try:

  1. Wait a bit: Sometimes, just waiting a few hours can resolve the issue. GSC might be temporarily overloaded.
  2. Clear cache and cookies: Try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, then attempt the submission again.
  3. Different browser or incognito mode: Switching to a different browser or using incognito mode can sometimes bypass the issue.
  4. Limit requests: In the future, try to space out your indexing requests to avoid overloading the system.
  5. Check GSC status: Ensure there are no widespread issues with GSC by checking forums or Google’s status updates.
Many users have encountered this, and it's usually a temporary glitch. Hang in there!
 
This normally happens when the indexing service is busy or if you submitted many pages in a short span of tiime. Just give time and it will be resolved or try again later
