TLDR
Google's robots.txt recrawl feature in Search Console is throwing errors for multiple users, though the issue appears intermittent.
SERoundtable reports that the request indexing or recrawl function within Google Search Console's robots.txt report is malfunctioning for some sites, producing an "Unknown error" message when users attempt to trigger a recrawl. The issue was first flagged by a user on Bluesky and later confirmed by Google's John Mueller, who stated the error appears on some of his own properties, suggesting the problem is widespread rather than localized to individual accounts.
