In the God of Destruction Beerus saga of Dragon Ball Super we see Goku heals
from a mortal wound made by Beerus when transformed in Super Saiyan God. But
in the Golden Freezer saga we see Goku being wounded to death by Freezer when
fighting in Super Saiyan Blue. He does nothing to recover himself when he
could have used the Super Saiyan God transformation to heal himself.

Why didn't Goku use Super Saiyan God's regenerative abilities to recover from
Freezer's deathly blow?

The most likely explanation is that it's just a contradiction introduced by
Toei Animation.

While Toriyama writes the general plot of Dragon Ball Super, both Toei
Animation and Toyotaro are free, to some extent, to fill the holes left by
Toriyama. These additions usually contradict future events when they mess with
not-well-defined concepts (e.g. the scope of Super Saiyan God's powers) and
Toriyama later starts defining them (e.g. by showing that such transformation
cannot in fact heal).

In this case, Goku's mortal wound made by Freeza was probably Toriyama's idea
while the one made by Beerus was added by Toei Animation without considering
future implications.

It could also be that Toriyama himself introduced this plot hole, but the
scenario I described above happens more often.
