Google search console shows that there are some pages marked "no indexed" but actually every page allowed to crawl.
There is a difference between "Crawling" and "Indexing". Not all crawled pages are indexed, but all indexed pages are crawled. IF Google finds any reason why a page should not be indexed, it will not be indexed. There is no guarantee that crawling = indexing.
I would look at the source code of the pages that GSC lists as "no-indexed" because they may actually contain a "noindex" metatag that will prevent them from being indexed. If they do contain a robots metatag and it has "index" listed, then the page
can be indexed.
IF it has no tag, it can still be indexed, but if it has a "noindex" tag, it will very probably not be indexed.
but I can't submit the URL because Page actions are temporarily disabled.
This was disabled because of users trying to repeatedly submit the same URLs to Google with that button. Not what it was intended for. An older (2019) discussion goes into detail about the newer "URL Inspection/Submit" issue: [

Going back to the old Webmaster Tools days, they had a similar tool which allowed users to view their sites as Google saw them, and an option to "Submit" for indexing. Since so many users abused that, it stopped working as discussed in this even older (2018) discussion: [

Add to this the situation that
IF you are using WordPress (not clear whether that is the case) that complicates things further because each page generates many complementary pages with no value for Google, which they will not index as it is the same content under a different URL. In this case, a canonical meta tag helps Google know which version you prefer to have indexed.
Sitemaps are not mandatory for indexing, but if you do submit a sitemap, be sure that it lists only one version of any page content. Use canonical meta tags to identify various versions of the same content, especially in WP. If your content is indexable, and if Google crawls it, then it might be indexed.
If you want to know whether Google has crawled any pages, you do not need to look at GSC. You have your raw access logs to see when Google has crawled and what pages they have visited.
