Regarding the Approval Process.

Hello, I am aware that the approval process takes 8 weeks, but after 2-3 weeks, only 8 out of the 51 photos I uploaded with a limit were reviewed. The people I've discussed these issues with have a review limit of 500. When will my limit be increased to 500? I'm wondering if my account is being overlooked. Why is this delay so lengthy?

We dont know how Adobe determines when an upload limit will be upgraded. Some have speculated that it is dependent on the number of assets you sell. The original limitation, where some have a limit of 51, others 501, others 3001, etc., appears to have been based on the length of time one was active as a contributor before the limits were set into play.

Wow, I didn't know there was a limit of 3001 reviews. 🙂

Formerly, there was no limit and some contributors abused of that and uploaded thousands of assets per day. That created the initial bottleneck and augmented the review to up to 2 months. It's not that your assets get reviewed for two months, but it simply takes time to get ahead in the queue. In addition, Adobe started to review some assets out of order. The limit helped to keep the review time down to something sustainable. 

 

The limits get adjusted according to an unknown formula. We suspect that there is a bit of sales, a bit of acceptance rate and a bit of seniority in that. There may also be a bit of overall influx and moderation speed part of this.

We have no way of knowing what or how the moderators review assets. All I can say is, you have to wait. It is also best to upload a few assets each day and not 50 assets at once.
