    Focus less on quantity and more on quality.  A high rejection rate is not good for anyone, least of all Adobe Stock who must pay staff to Reveiw your assets.

     

    Select 5-10 of your best images after editing.  Compare with current Stock inventory to ensure it's as good or better than what Stock has.  Remove all images you're unsure about.  That should help reduce your rejection rate.

     

    Adobe Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects.  See below for more tips.

    AI can't replace real artists.  It makes far too many mistakes and it's not smart enough to know what mistakes it makes to correct them.  That's your job.

     

    It requires talent & skill to create commercial-ready artwork from machine generated images.  Midjourney can run 100+ diffusion cycles before I have 5 decent images to work with.  It's that prone to failures & the costs add up.  Then the real work begins in Photoshop, etc...

     

    I think it's easier to manually create artwork from AI inspirations.  It might take longer but I'm making a better product.

    Slow down and inspect each image carefully, editing those that have flaws and discarding those that cannot be fixed. You cannot possibly be spending enough time on each of those 250 images to ensure that they are of the highest quality. If you spent 5 minutes on each, that would be nearly 21 hours per day! Obviously, you can't claim that you are focused on submitting only high quality images.

     

    A 73% rejection rate is much too high. We don't know the exact rejection threshold at which Adobe will conclude that your submissions are costing them too much time to moderate. The moderators are having to look at 4 of your images to find 1 that is acceptable. That's not good for Adobe; nor is it good for you.

    You will need to lower your rejection rate, be checking your assets before submitting. At some stage, Adobe may well decide that it is not worth to have assets submitted by you. Nobody knows the threshold, but for somewhere a rejection rate of 50% is not sustained.

    No one knows the threshold. But for getting one reward at some time, you needed to have a rejection rate of less than 50%. So anything above 50% is considered as bad.

     

    But at your pace, you can't objectively check all the assets thoroughly, and I fear that a certain moment your old sins will take over. We have seen, that, especially people submitting countless assets, do not always put the needed work into curing the defects, and even if they get accepted, they still contain multiple issues, that make customers complain about the assets. Furthermore, keywords may not be correct or misleading, which may also lead to account suspension.

     

    Don't get me wrong, this is only a summary from the reports of suspended users. It may well be that your assets are better than the average. I won't judge them, without having seen any of them. But at a pace of 250 a day, you can't really take care of every asset, IMHO.

    250+ per day? I assume these are AI images? I consider myself having a good day if I manage to edit and submit 6 to 12 images. So yeah, that's around a 50% rejection rate give or take, and I don't know if it would result in a ban, but you might very well be pushing your luck at that rate.
