i have create 3 different auto renew subscription of different duration in same subscription group.
Weekly,Monthly,Yearly within 1 subscription group.
App reject for below reason
Guideline 3.1.2 - Business - Payments - Subscriptions
We noticed that the different durations of your auto-renewable subscriptions were still created as separate in-app purchase products, rather than as different durations within the same subscription group.
Firstly i have Created 3 in app purchase products in 3 subscription group. So From apple store, They rejected my app with the reason "We noticed that the different durations of your auto-renewable subscriptions in saperate Group."
After that i have created 3 new In app purchase products in and used them in my app. But i haven't remove it from apple developer Console and submit my app for review.so again they reject app with the same reason "We noticed that the different durations of your auto-renewable subscriptions in saperate Group."
After that i remove old In app purchase products from apple developer console and submit old binary for review and App Approved.
so just create new in app purchase product with same subscription group rather than different group and Remove OLD in app purchase IDS from apple developer console.

Please, help me to clarify purchases types.
I have an ionic project, where a user has a possibility to post to feed. But he/she has to pay for each news he/she posts.
I know that purchases are of three types: consumable, non-consumable and subscriptions.
I cant understand what is the type of such kind of purchases?
You would be a consumable type as you are paying every time you post.
Good description from a previous post https://stackoverflow.com/a/21251768/5270656
Ref: itunesconnect.apple.com
Everything is here:
Consumable (pay everytime)
A consumable In-App Purchase must be purchased every time
the user downloads it. One-time services, such as fish food in a
fishing app, are usually implemented as consumables.
Select Non-Consumable (one time payment)
Non-consumable In-App Purchases only need to be
purchased once by users. Services that do not expire or decrease with
use are usually implemented as non-consumables, such as new race
tracks for a game app.
Select Auto-Renewable Subscriptions (will deduct money from your credit card on a cycle complete)
Auto-renewable Subscriptions allow
the user to purchase updating and dynamic content for a set duration
of time. Subscriptions renew automatically unless the user opts out,
such as magazine subscriptions.
Select Free Subscription (no payment and is still visible even you did not submitted your account detail to itunes connect)
Free subscriptions are a way for developers
to put free subscription content in Newsstand. Once a user signs up
for a free subscription, it will be available on all devices
associated with the user’s Apple ID. Note that free subscriptions do
not expire and can only be offered in Newsstand-enabled apps.
Select Non-Renewing (need to renew manually)
Subscription Non-Renewing Subscriptions allow the
sale of services with a limited duration. Non-Renewing Subscriptions
must be used for In-App Purchases that offer time-based access to
static content. Examples include a one week subscription to voice
guidance feature within a navigation app or an annual subscription to
online catalog of archived video or audio.
I have several iOS apps in the Apple App Store. I am wanting to add in-app purchase for one specific feature/service, but Apple's "Getting Started with In-App Purchase on iOS
and OS X" document in the developer's portal does not do an adequate job in describing which category and purchase type I should select.
The app itself checks availability for a reservation. Example: is there availability at restaurant A at 7:00pm. If not, get on a waiting list. The waiting list becomes active 72 hours (exactly) before the desired reservation time.
The in-app purchase I want to add is to is to add a feature/service to make an automatically listing for the waiting list at precisely the time it becomes active. This in-app purchase is a one-time event, and the user receives an email from the vendor that they are listed on the waiting list.
So would this in-app purchase be in the Service, Functionality, or Subscription category? And would the purchase type be Consumable (one-time event), or non-renewing subscription?
Right now i'm allowing multiple in app purchases. 3 month subscription, etc. But i cannot get a renewable purchase because apple wont allow it. So currently when a user goes to buy another 3 month subscription it gives the message that they've already purchases this item and wont allow them to purchase it again. I figure this has something to do with the product id? Is there a way to allow this not to happen and purchase the same product with the same product id multiple times? Thanks for the help!
Your product is not a non consumable product it is Non-Renewing Subscriptions instead. For further detail check check this link and go to Types of In-App Purchases this section.
Apple, iOS, IAP.
The official doc says:
Product type - Users can buy - Appears in the receipt - Synced across devices - Restored
Consumable - Multiple times - Once - Not synced - Not restored
Non-renewing - Multiple times - Once - By your app - By your app
Of course consumable can be made same to non-renewing "by my app" if I want to, so what's the exact difference? Why Apple distinguish these two types identical on his side?

Consumable items are individually purchased items. You need to buy one each time you want one. For example, in a game, if you ran out of lives and wanted to keep playing, you can buy an extra life (consumable). Once you use that life, if you need more than you need to buy another one.
Non-renewing is referring to subscriptions. It is the purchase of a subscription to something for a designated time frame, that will not automatically renew/re-charge after it expires. Example would be buying a one month subscription to a weekly magazine app that publishes new content every week. You purchase this one month, non-renewing, subscription and you get access to the app's content for a month. After the month is over, it does not automatically renew itself and will not bill you again.
Please, tell me, how many IDs in one app I can create? only 10 000? or 10000 for one IAP?
I'd like to make at least 3 in-app purchases in my application.
and we have a great number of content for sell
It is 10000 product IDs. Please refer to iTunes Connect Developer Guide 7.4:
You can create up to 10000 separate product IDs assigned to your In-App Purchases per app in iTunes Connect. This number refers to the number of In-App Purchases, not the number of purchase transactions.
