I did increase the posting rate, however the content should be great. Possibly too many outbound links?

oh yeah, posting frequency is a big deal too, I forgot about that, sorry!
How many OBLs do you have? And also, where do they link to? If they link to sites like Wikipedia, NY Times, etc. I think it's OK, but if you're linking to sites that google considers low quality / spam it might be a problem....

It depends of MS overall quality. If you're using that websites as a PBN you should not get surprised for indexing issues.
Outbound links quantity it's never a problem unless you're sucking when linking.

you should be safe then. So your indexation problem is probably related to content quality or posting frequency. I can't think of anything else...

Perhaps there is a crawl budget problem, the material is scant or of poor quality, or Google is just taking longer to trust the website. Additionally, look for indexing issues in GSC; occasionally, there is only a little technical glitch.

If your indexing is dropping, it could be due to low quality or duplicate content, slow site speed, crawl budget limits, or google seeing your pages as not useful or relevant enough.
If your indexing is dropping, it’s usually one (or more) of these:
- Low-quality or thin content: I think you may use AI or duplicates content, that's why google deindexing your pages.
- Crawl budget issues: You may have too many junk URLs, not enough authority.
- No internal links: If you don't have internal link in your site, so google can’t find it, it won’t index it.
- Slow site / tech issues: Bad hosting or errors block crawlers. If your site is slow that obstructed to indexing your content.
- Manual action or algorithm hit: Check Search Console for clues that might help you know what's the problem.

It can happen if the content is too short or low-value. Are you writing content in bulk using AI?

Fewer pages may be indexed due to low-quality content, poor internal linking, or technical issues like noindex tags.
Google also has a limited crawl budget, so not all pages are discovered quickly.
For new websites, indexing can be slower, especially with duplicate or similar content.
Use Google Search Console to identify issues and focus on publishing valuable, well-linked content.

That drop in indexing could be due to a few reasons - thin content, crawl budget limits, or pages not passing quality checks. I would check if anything changed recently (e.g. site speed, structure, or internal linking). Also, submit key pages manually.

You can check the non index page issue on GSC
It will show you exact reason
