Last weekend I upload some images to Alamy, before if is one images failed all other images from same submission is also failed. Not at this time. One is failed but other stays online for key wording.
I am not sure it was accidentally or no. I hope, they finally find out it was not smart way before.

If it fails for intake data, error or image size, the whole batch doesn't fail. If it fails QC, the whole batch fails.

As far as I see, no changes to the one fail, all fail rule.

It was Failed QC

I've never seen that. One fail all fail. What was the reason?

Upload small batches is the way to go

tried that --

unfortunately ,if one file fails anywhere, any other batches also fail

Only batches all in the same queue.
So drip up batches after each is accepted, if you keep getting fails.
However, Alamy QC fails are pretty rare*, so maybe ask yourself (to OP) why you're getting them.
*Actually Alamy QC is pretty rare, files usually get accepted as soon as submitted, so aren't checked, so long as you have a good track record. They seem to check random batches from time  to time, or if I haven't submitted for a while, like months.

To encourage us to check our files more carefully before submission.
Plus it's their ball, their rules.

What ws the reason they gave for the fail, not why do they do that.
