Yes, I have experienced the same. It takes a long while (several days) after submitting sitemap for the pages to actually get indexed. Even after it starts indexing, it will do few pages per day (few usually is < 10).

It helps if you have a back link to kickstart things. Even then if some of your internal pages are not easily reachable from the home page, those page will not get indexed soon enough.

Ugh thats unfortunate. Heard it used to be a week to get thousands of pages indexed. At this rate it will take forever (60k pages). Maybe due to all the auto generated AI pages flooding in, Google is trying to slow things down?

Do you know if static pages (.html) would get indexed faster? Thinking of converting all my pages to static to see if any improvement.

I don't think it's going to be any different. I guess if the page response time is fast it helps with your overall SEO but I don't think it will have impact as far as indexing is concerned. Probably your guess is right that this might be Google's way of handling AI generated content.
