"If we see that a website goes back and forth, then that's something where the webspam team will say 'okay you you're just wasting our time'. Like if you fix the problem do the reconsideration request and then a couple weeks later you have the same problem again, then like a little bit of back and forth. And the web spam team will say, okay we we will take a look in a couple of months when when you've decided what you want to do."
John Mueller: Google doesn't guarantee indexing
"We don't guarantee indexing -- it can happen that we end up not indexing content at all. Without knowing your site, in general, making sure that a site is unique, compelling, and of high quality is a good approach to take for the long run."
Google: No such thing as two waves of indexing or crawling
"There's no such thing as the second wave of crawling-ish.[...] The wave is an oversimplification that is coming back to us with interesting implications every now and then.[...]
It's all an oversimplification of what happens in the pipeline. There definitely isn't two waves of crawling. Indexing is a lovely can of worms, but yeah... not exactly two waves of indexing either."

"If your situation is temporary and you plan to reopen your online business, we recommend keeping your site online and limiting the functionality. For example, you might mark items as out of stock, or restrict the cart and checkout process. This is the recommended approach since it minimizes any negative effects on your site's presence in Search."
