I've been waiting since August 1st,it seems that they have decided to pay once a week,perhaps,because lately I always receive payments on Saturday morning Italian time.

come on Adobe!my cats are hungry!I tried to explain the situation to them but I'm not sure they understood!

I request payment once a month - typically at the end of the day (US east coast) on the last day. My payments from Adobe, going backwards from July to January 2023 were: 8, 9, 12, 6, 8, 9, 6

So they're a bit later than usual, but not totally off the charts. I don't see any reason for it to take as long as they say - a couple of business days should be enough for an automated process (and if it isn't automated, why not?). I'm assuming they'd rather keep the money longer and they set a deadline that avoids peasants (us) rioting, not because of any necessary part of the business process.

If they'd implement an option for automatic payout and deposit in my bank account, (like I used to get from Alamy before I left them), I'd sign up.

I don't think tending to the contributor interface, stats, tax forms, payouts, etc. is high on their priority list, which is why nothing much gets improved.

However, I don't think we need to worry about them having enough cash to pay us. They're solvent.

Edited to add that I got my (PayPal) payment this evening

Typically, a few hours after posting this the payment arrived.
So took 13 days instead of the usual 6-7.
