What's going on? Photo control stopped for a fortnight - Adobe Stock

[c15C3]

What is happening with the photo checks? The checks have always been done after a week at the latest, now they have been stopped for two, I have even reached the number of 3001 uploads of photos that need to be checked, is there anyone left working?

Contributor? Photos or illustrations? 

If you are submitting illustrations be prepared for longer waiting time. 2 to 3 months.

As a side note: I thought there was a limit on the number of assets waiting for moderation, and that this limit was currently under 500?

illustrations, 2/3 months? Are we crazy? 🤦‍:male_sign: my limit is 3001, it doesn't make sense that with photos they check them in a week and with illustrations 2 months

The queue for Generative AI and other illustrations has grown to 1-2 months due to the huge influx from Contributors uploading hundreds, or even thousands, at a time. Adobe Moderators have never faced such a huge backlog before. They are working as fast as they can to add good quality assets to the database. Last week alone they added >500,000 AI assets to the database. Surely you see that you have added to the problem by uploading 3,000 assets !!

They check all a considerable amount of assets, but where photographers submit 10 pictures in a batch, generative AI contributors submit thousands. As the number of moderators cannot be increased rapidly, and for sure, it would economically not make sense, to increase those numbers extensivly, the illustration queue has accumulated a huge backlog. Adobe addresses that by imposing a limit on the number of outstanding assets, but the backlog needs first to be processed. Moderation is in the order as submitted.

A limit of 3000 is hell too much. It should be something between 100 and 200 assets. That would give a chance to everyone. Go for a walk in the meantime.
