70+ days review

Is it normal for a photos to be in review section for more than 70+ days?? used to be taken for 20-30

In general 2-3 months is the normal for asset review times currently, so hang in there and they will be reviewed at some point. Are these A.I. generated assets?

Is this for regular images or just AI taking 2-3 months?

AI assets take the longest, but regular images can take nowadays similar moderation waiting times, as they are on the same queue.

There is no separation. AI, photos, vectors, videos all take a long time to review.

I think Premium Collection Contributors with golden acceptance & sales percentages may have a slightly shorter wait time than regular contributors.  But that's just a guess as I don't know any Premium Collection Contributors.  🤔

@daniellei4510 reports out of schedule moderation, so it may br tgat Adobe experiments with different moderation techniques to get a faster througput. And photos and Illustrations accept generative AI, and the other queues do not. Generative AI contributors are flooding the queues and Adobe seems to target a one month waiting time for all assets.

This reminds me...I haven't seen any new postings lately from new contributors wondering why they can only post 51 images. And someone two or three weeks ago posted something like, "I'm brand new here and I have 105 images still waiting to be reviewed." Makes me wonder if the limitations have been removed. I'm a couple hundred assets away from reaching my 501 limitation again so I can't tell.

=========

Yes.  1-3 months is the new normal.  Stock works business days, Monday - Friday.  They don't work on weekends & holidays.

• Review times vary based on how many other assets were ahead of yours in the wait queue.
• Stock receives hundreds to thousands of submissions per week and even more during peek holidays.
• If you're submitting seasonal assets, plan ahead. Give yourself at least 3-4 months lead time to allow for possible delays.

Hope that helps.

Up to 2 months is normal. But the time shown is not the submission time, but the upload time. If you have uploaded an asset a month earlier, and submit now, it will start with a "submission" time of a month.

I'd say you're on the cusp of having something reviewed soon. And once things kick in, reviews should happen more regularly. Just be sure you have new assets at the ready.
