How to solve this issues of Sitemap Temporary processing error?

1. How many posts do you have on the site?

2. What sitemap plugin (if any) are you using?

3. Have you manually checked your sitemap and verified that your sitemap properly corresponds to your post count?
 
Quite possibly because the sitemap was unavailable when the bot visited. Check your error log, that might give you an idea. Do check if the sitemap is rendering fine for you when you visit the url manually.
 
It's because the sitemap wasn't crawled when the page got crawled,
Nothing to do with your sitemap actually, it's an error from Google
 
First check your sitemap file for potential issues like incorrect formatting, excessive size, or inaccessible URLs using Google Search Console's Index Coverage report; if no issues are found, simply wait as the error usually resolves itself due to temporary processing issues on Google's end, but you can try resubmitting your sitemap after a few hours if the error persists.
 
Ensure that your sitemap URL is correct and accessible. It should be in the XML format and placed in the root directory of your website.
Make sure your robots.txt file is not blocking the sitemap.
 
Temporary processing errors usually resolve on their own after a few days. If it's been over a week, try re-submitting the sitemap. If you’re still seeing the error after multiple re-submits, might be worth checking your server logs for any access errors when Googlebot tries to crawl.
 
421 and 114 indexed so far

yes its fine

Then I suggest you let about a week pass, while Google tries to fetch your sitemap again. If the error doesn't resolve on its own, you can resubmit your sitemap.

You can also rename your sitemap and resubmit to check.

If the error still persists, then as @NeedMyLink suggested, more investigation would be required - including checking the server access logs.
 
Do you have same problem? I have it already 2 months
Yes, met too. I did everythingg possible, even split the sitemap into multiple smaller parts and then merged them together, when it did nothing
