By default, a feed includes all products regardless of any stock status. Advertising “Out of stock” products alongside your “In stock” products, could harm your eCommerce store credibility. It could confuse potential customers and drive them away from buying products on your site.
Therefore, excluding Out of Stock products from a Product Feed would be better to ensure your Google Merchant Center only advertises available stock products.
Wondering how you can do this? Please follow the below steps:

However, if you’re not managing stock for products, create a filter using the Stock Status WooCommerce attribute to remove Out Of Stock based on the stock status from your feed. Please refer to the below image:
By following these steps, you can keep out the out-of-stock products from your feed and ensure a better customer shopping experience.
