Currently the Scopus coverage years of all journals in scopus website is from .... to 2021. It will be updated soon. What is the name of the journal ?
The scopus updates list every three months. The journal may have been blacklisted.
That is because Scopus website is not updated yet, and it's usually updated a few times every year, and the next update will change the coverage years for journals to "to present". To check the current state of any journal, search for it in the discontinued source list:

Currently the coverage years for some journals (including Q1 journals) is up to 2021 and for some of them the coverage years is till present. In addition, all those journals still under Scopus indexing based on the Scopus indexing list. Does that mean to avoid publishing in the journals which their coverage years is up to 2021? although some of them are Q1.
@Muawia Coverage years for some journals is up to 2021 because they haven't published any issues in 2022 yet.
If my article is published in the journal in March 2022 and the coverage years are up to 2021, would the paper appear if you search for it on Scopus? The journal is not in the discontinued list. So when are they going to update the coverage years?
Maybe their issues have not being pulished yet. Try to look if the journal has a periodic publishing time in the last 5 or 10 years.
