Focus less on quantity & more on quality. 

Be selective & submit 2-3 of your very best assets for review. 

As you accrue more accepted assets, your submission limit will increase. 

 

Acceptance is only half the prize. Ultimately, you must generate sales, too.  Whatever you submit to Stock should be the highest visual & technical quality for commercial use. 

Hope that helps.

The crucial information is that the new weekly submission limits for Adobe Stock contributors are not publicly disclosed and vary from account to account.

 

Key Facts About the Limits

 

  • No Fixed Number: There is no single, fixed weekly number that applies to all contributors (like 100 or 500).

  • Dynamic Limit: Adobe has stated that your personal submission limit is based on a variety of factors related to your account, including your performance (sales) and your approval rates.

  • Temporary Pause: When you reach your weekly submission limit, or the maximum amount of allowed content pending moderation, you will experience a temporary pause before you can submit more content.

  • Finding Your Limit: Contributors typically discover their individual weekly limit when the "Submit" button grays out and they receive the "Submission limit reached" message.

 

Adobe encourages contributors to focus on uploading their best, highest-quality work consistently to avoid hitting the pause.

Because you've reached your upload limit.

 

"We’re introducing updated submission limits for Adobe Stock Contributors to help maintain the strength and quality of our growing collection. These updates support the continued success of both our Contributor community and customers alike. When you reach your weekly submission limit or the maximum amount of allowed content pending moderation, you will experience a temporary pause before you can submit additional content."

Read some of the other recent posts here in the forum; there are many complaints on this subject. Adobe has implemented a submission limit on each account. You won't be able to submit more until some of your previous submissions have been reviewed.
