I'm changing the images title after refresh the page Approved stock images are deleted automatically. 30+ images deleted just 1 second what's happening? Whats the reason?

Your images are not deleted, they are sent back in "New" section, to uploaded, but not submitted yet, ones. So you have to resubmit it.

It's a new feature / mechanism on Adobe Stock. I also noticed it. Now, when you edit your image title / keywords, there is a pop-up screen asking to confirm metadata changes (you can cancel or confirm) after you click "Save". And there is also a link https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/submission-guidelines.html in that pop-up window.

The asset with changed metadata is returned with the same asset ID it was previously approved.

Funny, I had to remove only a punctuation mark, but, nevertheless, my approved asset was temporarily removed (i.e. sent back to "New"), then I resubmitted it and it appeared within seconds on my portfolio again.

There may be an automatic check on the changes, and if the changes are minimal, they do not need to get checked again.

 

I suppose that some very clever guys did standard key wording for the approval and then after approval changed that to something different and prohibited.

You should be posting in the Adobe Stock Contributor Forum, not the Stock forum which is for Buyers. Did you receive the email from Adobe nearly 2 weeks ago advising that they were going to start removing duplicate content? This might have affected your account. Look in your "Not accepted" tab.
