My dynamic sitemap is messing with Laravel SEO, help?

hey everyone, so i started using this 'Dynamic XML Sitemap for Laravel & All Websites' thing a while back, really hoping it would supercharge my Laravel SEO with those sweet auto-updates and all that future-proof jazz. its supposed to be smart, you know?

but lately, it's been acting like a moody teenager who refuses to clean their room. it just won't update properly. sometimes it shows old pages, sometimes even deleted ones! kinda defeats the whole 'dynamic' part if it's always stuck in the past, doesn't it? my Laravel SEO optimization efforts are taking a hit because of this.

[2023-10-27 14:30:01] production.ERROR: Sitemap generation failed: Old URLs detected.
[2023-10-27 14:30:02] console.INFO: Sitemap rebuild initiated, 0 new URLs added.

i mean, what's with the '0 new URLs added' when i know there are new pages? anyone else had their dynamic sitemap go rogue on them, especially in a Laravel setup? what's the secret sauce to make it behave and actually update like it should? really hoping some expert has a trick up their sleeve before i start talking to it nicely, lol.
