New acceptation time ...

It might be worth noting that despite the extended waiting time notice, a few have reported having images accepted within 1 or 2 days after submission.

It appears that perhaps you have not been submitting assets for quite some time. As a result of Adobe's decision to allow Generative AI images to be submitted about a year ago, review times have been very volatile. 8 weeks seem to be the maximum, but that seems to apply to AI assets. Other asset types are getting reviewed faster.

It's the waiting time before moderation. The reason for this is that since Adobe accepts generative AI, moderators have a backlog of about 2 months, even that they are moderating at high speed. Adobe decided to get the message nearer to the reality.
