Finally Google Enables Request Indexing Feature in Google Search Console After Disabling It for Two Months

By
"Page actions are temporarily disabled" Google Search Console’s URL Inspection Tool Was Down Since From October 2020 and a message "Page actions are temporarily disabled" was displayed on URL Inspection panel of Google Search Console. Now as of today 22 Dec, 2020, the URL Inspection feature is working fine. So, Request Indexing tool is Back in Google Search Console. Is it working fine or Google has just placed a dummy for showing indexing tool is working. I am saying this because I submitted many URLs for indexing but still after 4 - 5 hours none are showing updated content or new URLs in Google results. People will say that Google have the right to index a page or not based upon its liking but earlier it used to index a page withing 5 mins of submitting for index. Have to wait and watch if it is still as effective as it was or not.
