Almost 3 months in review, is it true that there is a 50 images max limit (I have 105 in queue).

[QuasarCR]

Hi, some of my submissions (made directly through Adobe stock) have 2.5 months old and it is not moving.
I've heard there is a 50 max limit, is this true? and if it is, could it be that this is preventing images to be reviewed (since that limitation wasn't there when I first submitted the images).

Thanks!

All the best.

From what I understsnd, your limit is based on your account. I have seen people with 51 as the in-review limit but usually they quickly advance you to a 101 limit then 501, 1001, then 3001 like many of us are at right now.

Thank you for the quick reply.

Where did you 'hear' this rumour?  I'm not aware of a 50 image limit. 

That said, Adobe Stock may be limiting submissions to reduce wait times.  But I'm not aware of a hard & fast number that applies to everyone.  If they do impose limits, I'm almost certain it varies based on acceptance rates & sales history. 

Review times vary depending on how many other assets were ahead of yours in the wait queue.  Photos & vectors typically take 5-15 working days while Generative AI & Illustrations could take 1-3 months due to the surge in AI submissions. 

Work on other projects while you wait for review.

For faster turnarounds, submit less generative AI and more real images.

I've heard it in another stock community, specifically about Adobe Stock.
The problem is that a lot of these content is seasonal and for sure I've missed the window by now.
I'll wait.
Thanks for the reply.

I believe at least one person who posted here mentioned having a 50 image limit. My limit is 501. Everyone's is different. The Submit button greys out when one's limit is reached. So as to the poster's original question, that is not the reason for their lenghty review period, or is that length of time unusual at this point,

Thank you

For new users, the limit seems to be 50 assets, which is enough to earn the first refusals. I suppose that gets higher as soon as they get a good standing.

I am a new contributor and my limit is 51. I have my first 51 images in review, the oldest for about two months now. From reading the forum it seems that this is the norm now and can take much longer.

The waiting time before review is about 2 months after submission (according to Adobe). The time you are getting shown is the time between the upload and now. I can upload an asset and submit it 3 months later, and the system will say immediately “submitted 3 months ago”.

[Sherry-M]

I understand. Most of the 51 I have on the "in review" page were submitted on whatever day I uploaded them. The oldest being about two months ago. I try to work on 1-3 each day to upload, and currently have 45 more ready and waiting to submit. When it comes time to submit those they will show a longer time, as you said, since I have uploaded them and am waiting to submit. Hopefully, being new, I will be a little successsful with approval. Otherwise it's a long wait to find out your work isn't up to par.

Sure. Check your assets at 100% for errors, like artefacts, noise, missing sharpness … You may check here the forum to see what errors get pointed out on refusals. If you have an asset with errors in the queue, delete them, correct the errors and resubmit before they get refused.

For new contribuitor the limit is 51, after they get accepted it's 501.

[QuasarCR]

Quick Update: after I made this post some pictures where accepted. So, as mentioned in this thread, it wasn't a limitation issue or any issue with my submissions, it is just that the AI Generated queue is very slow because of the volume. Just wanted to share that things are moving on. Thanks everyone.

Glad to hear that you're finally seeing some movement of your assets !
