Approval rate

From Adobe:

Dynamic Submission Quotas (Weekly Limit & Pending Moderation Limit):

• Adobe Stock has implemented updated submission limits to maintain collection quality and manage the volume of content, especially with the rise of generative AI submissions.
• These limits are not a fixed number for all contributors. They are dynamic and based on several factors related to your account's performance and history, including:
  • Your weekly submission limit.
  • The maximum amount of content you can have pending moderation (in review).
  • Your approval rate and sales performance—a higher acceptance rate and more sales can generally increase your limit over time.
• When you reach either your weekly limit or the maximum number of allowed files pending moderation, you will experience a temporary pause before you can submit more content. The limit resets once the pending files have been reviewed or the weekly period resets.

This question comes up often, but the way you’re framing it is in my opinion the best.

There’s a lot to unpack. When you are new, the limit on quantity you can upload is at its greatest, and approval time is greater. DO NOT, be discouraged by this. Instead focus your time to explore your areas of interest and don’t stop shooting.

It goes without saying to become familiar with Adobe’s guidelines and always follow them. 
On a very personal opinion, if you are already skilled with photography, I would stay more focus in creating that instead of AI. You will soon find out that has become overly saturated and approvals kept at a minimum. I would ABSOLUTELY learn and plan on creating video clips… anything you photograph you create video clips mentality.

Set yourself goals, keep them, and always remember you’re doing for where you see your stock doing no less than 2 years from now.

I could go on, right now this are good tips to think about. Feel free to reach out to me anytime!

Cheers!
