Everything looks fine but there was a sudden drop in the number of indexed pages. What could be the problem?

Hello,

in april this year there was a sudden drop in the number of indexed pages. I check with my IT suport and they assured me that there is no problem with: incorrect canonicals, robots.txt or noindex meta, and server was not down or overloaded.

What could be the problem? And what should I check next?
