At first there was a limit of 50 pieces, now it’s 500 pieces, when will the limit be expanded? Thanks in advance for answer!

IMO, nobody should submit more than 500 images for review. It slows down the review process for EVERYONE!

Yep. And let's not forget the reason the limitation was established in the first place nor a few previous contributors who had their accounts disabled for spamming.

yes, new contributors with no experience whatever, not even reading the instructions, submitting tens of thousands assets in a good day in an automated manner. That lead to an overloading of the moderation queues.

There was one guy who got accepted, before getting blocked, 60,000 assets in the course of two or three months. He claimed a low rejection rate, but that was before moderators were trained to look for the typical generative AI errors.

The parameters to "earn" a higher limit are unknown; Adobe has never made that info public. But we suspect that it has to do with acceptance rate and sales history. As your account gains more experience, and more sales, the limit will eventually be increased. In the meantime, you can upload as many as you want to your account, add titles and keywords and submit them as soon as the number under review drops below 500.

Helpful advice! I recently discovered that if only part of the files are accepted, and the rest is waiting: for example, 20 files are accepted, then I can immediately send 20 more files 🙂

Yes, as soon as a slot is free, you can submit a new asset. That is quite logical. I even wouldn't mention that, as it is the same also in "real life".

The limit has been instaured to get the moderation process again to normal. It's gradual, it's imcreased with experience, but the exact rules have not published by Adobe. But having 500 assets waiting in the moderation queue is a lot. That means you can add 500 assets in 8 weeks, if your assets are waiting the maximum indicated time. That's a nice growth. And that would mean that you would work around 4 hours a day 7/7 with 30 minutes to cure errors in the files. That is a lot.

More experienced contributors have a limit of 3000, which is the current maximum.

Well put. I reached the 501 max quite some time ago and then Adobe started reviewing and accepting my images faster than I could replace them, especially since I got a better feel for what WON'T be accepted and I began spending more and more time editing assets before submission. For food, backgrounds, animals, etc., 30 minutes sounds about right for AI (and I'm guessing the OP is doing AI as well, if they're concerned about when the 501 limit will be increased). But since I specialize in photorealistic portraits, fashion, and people in general, I worry if I spend less than an hour or two editing the same. Fixing dozens of fly-away hairs alone can take 30 minutes., especially since AI has a habit of making sure those hairs cover the subject's face, neck, and eyes.

Anyway, point being, for about every 6 or so images accepted daily, I manage to submit 5 or 6 just trying to keep up and I'm down about 350 assets from my 501 max. If that's what it still is. It's inconsquential in the overall scheme of things.

It's just a guess, but we suspect the limit is extended when the number of assets sold is equal to the limit. So if you sell 500 assets, your limit will jump to 3001. We think. We don't know for sure.
