run out of subscription allowance, unable to purchase extra images

Usually, I go over my subscription allowance of 10 per month, not by many, usually up to 5. I used to be able to use the overage license feature, which means you can purchase extra images for a discounted rate of £2.39 (i think it is). This feature has stopped working. I can no longer purchase extra's above my subscription limit.

The error messages blame my card details, which are saved on my account and during the purchase process it never gives me the option to use a different card. The bank says it's not even getting a request for payment. My subscription renews, as per normal (with the same card details) and I have 10 images to use again. Until they're gone, and I'm left with the same problem. 

Apart form driving me mad, and leaving me in a precarious position with delivering client work. Chat support have no ideas (yes, I've cleared my cache and my cookies) and the phone number on the support page won't connect (it looks like a US number, I'm in the UK).

I am about to recommend that my whole team takes up an Adobe stock account, but I don't see how I can when I've unresolved problems.

Any ideas welcome!

I'm sorry, I don't have chrome. Do you have instructions for firefox or safari?


Hello R.F.,

I didn't see your reply until now. I see that you have since cancelled your personal Stock subscription. If you do require additional assistance please reply and tag me in your response.

Hi RF,

I looked up your account using the Adobe ID that you are using on the forums and I don't see any issue with your subscription. Are you receiving an error message? Can you provide more details about the issue please?

Hi RF,

I may be able to learn more information from your browse experience. Could you please do the following?

  1. Clear your history from Chrome browser and shutdown and restart the browser
  2. Navigate to the Adobe Stock site.
  3. In the upper right corner of your browser click on the stacked dots and go to More Tools > Developer Tools
  4. Make sure Network is selected and check the box for Preserve Log
  5. Reproduce the error.
  6. When the error occurs it will display in red in the browser log
  7. Click on the error in the Name column of the browser log, you'll see some information under Header.
  8. Look for X-Request ID and copy that and send it to me in a private message.
  9. There may be some information under the Preview, if there is send that to me as well.

Thank you.

I have solved this. I had a different card for my CC all apps subscription. I changed this to match the card being used for the stock subscription and now everything seems to be fine. I don't know why this would matter... but it's now resolved.

Hi RF,

I'm not sure why that worked because the payment methods for Adobe Stock and Adobe Creative Cloud are not dependent on each other. I'm glad it's resolved. Please let us know if you encounter this again.
