Hello,
All the files I have uploaded
these last days remain pending validation in the "in review" section for an unusually long time. Some since 20 days !
Is this also the case for you?

Regards.

Correct answer Abambo

The 2023 situation is caused by the high influx of Generative AI assets, and is in no way comparable to whatever the situation was in 2019. Today, waiting times after submission of up to 2 months may be normal. Adobe displays the upload time instead of the submission time, and then rounds up those times, so that displays of 3 months may be normal.

 

Do not contact Adobe Contributor Support as long as your waiting time is not around 4 months or above.

I checked your account and do see a few images that should have been reviewed by now. I've forwarded your account number to our moderation team and asked them to take care of it. I expect this will be done within the next 24 hours.

Thanks for your patience,

Mat

No. It takes normally less than 5 days.

In addition to above message of mine, please note that you can contact Adobe by logging into your contributor account and using the Contact us link on the webpage's footer.

Adobe employee's can look into your account and give you additional information.


It may be, that simply the approval is blocked, because Adobe is waiting for a model release or similar. In that case, you should have gotten a message.

Thank you Abambo.

Yes, normally less than 5 days... that's what's weird.

Still no news about these files, and I haven't received any message regarding release or other...


I sent a message to Adobe, but no answer for now...
