Files in review for too long?

The expected waiting time is 8 weeks as advertised. So 16 days is well in the standard waiting time.

Personally, I think that if you upload too many similar pictures and they are recognized as spam, 
the review process will be slower. I only upload hand-drawn illustrations, 
and I uploaded about 2,000 illustrations two years ago 
and have been inactive for about a year. About two months ago, 
I uploaded 20 pages a day again, and at that time, they were all reviewed on the same day or the next day. 
However, perhaps out of greed or a mistake, 
I uploaded some pictures that could be recognized as similar to me, 
and the pictures that looked similar were neither approved nor rejected, 
but remained. Since then, there has been no review for about a month.

I submitted many files 2 months ago and they have yet to be rejected or approved. I am getting worried as it seems all my files are getting clogged. Please if someone can help me I would appreciate it thank you!

Feel free to let us know when they are accepted.  It helps us give more accurate timelines when other people ask 🙂

There is a huge backlog of Generative AI assets to be reviewed, many of them from Contributors submitting hundreds at a time. Apparently Adobe has decided to route these through a separate queue and not to devote additional resources to reviewing them, thus the growing backlog. If you have submitted these types of assets, you can improve your chance of acceptance by ensuring that you have followed all the guidelines for titles and keywords.

If they are AI generated, there's a lot of backlog and it apparently now takes up to 2 months to get reviewed.

There has been reports of delays for illustrations too, as maybe they are in the same queue.
