Out of stock for an extended period

A product has been marked out_of_stock for too long without restocking. Google deprioritizes stale inventory and may eventually disapprove it.

Product is genuinely discontinued but still in your feed, or your inventory pipeline never marks it back to in_stock when restocked.

1. Filter discontinued products out of the feed entirely — exclude SKUs flagged as 'sold out forever'.
2. Confirm your stock-update pipeline runs at least daily and pushes both in→out and out→in transitions.
3. If a product is restocked, ensure the feed reflects in_stock within 24 hours of restock.
