Delays in vector file review

Hello!
I have vector files entirely created by myself, without the use of artificial intelligence, waiting for review for over a month now. Before, my vector files would be reviewed in a maximum of one day, but now I've been completely stuck since mid-August. I know there's a slowdown in the file review process, but I thought it only applied to PNGs. I know other contributors who upload vector files, and their waiting time has remained unchanged (24/48 hours), and during this period, they have never been as stuck as I am in uploading new files. Is there anyone else in the same situation as me?

To give you an example of how I have NOT been affected, this has been my Saturday...so far:

 

Around 8:00 AM: 2 assets accepted in the order submitted

Around 1:00 PM: 2 assets accepted that had been submitted about 1 hour earlier

Around 4:00 PM: 1 asset accepted in the order submitted

 

I'm starting to feel guilty. \_(ツ)_/

It appears to be a business decision of the part of Adobe to prioritize review of AI assets, though some AI Contributors still report long waits. Perhaps they've prioritized the AI contributors who have high acceptance rates and decent sales such as yourself.

 

In the last 3 weeks, the database has grown from 509 million total assets to 526.8 million total assets, adding 17.7M assets in total. Of that 15.4 million were AI, or ~87% of the total. AI now represents 26% of the total database.

"AI now represents 26% of the total database."

 

And that includes videos as well? Because if AI is the reason for the slow down, it seems to have started when Adobe began accepting AI vectors and AI videos. When Adobe first began accepting AI images last year, I don't recall a serious slow down in reviews. A lot of really bad AI, but no serious slow down. So I'm wondering if it's an abundance of AI videos and vectors that are slowing things down. Videos especially would take longer to review, but I assume they have a special team of moderators looking through those.

As for my sales, I'm seeing a bit of a slow down in that regard. So if I had a choice, I'd rather wait a little longer for reviews than deal with slower sales. 🙂 Then again, I don't have a gazillion assets, so the ups and downs in sales aren't that surprising.

Many Contributors are reporting delays of 2-3 months or even longer in getting their assets reviewed. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it except wait patiently....

All file types are affected by the show down: vectors, pngs, photos, illustrations, and AI. I'm not sure about Videos. Editorial still seems to be reviewed in a timely manner, based on what I've read here in the forum. Not all contributors are affected, myself included. We don't know what is causing the issue.
