This morning, my disposable income increased by a 3-digit amount but when I check my sales it shows nothing for that amount. I don't do illustrations, so they certainly don't come from the free collection bonus and I haven't received any emails from Adobe. Now, before reporting the incident to customer service, I would like to know if the same thing has happened to anyone else. Thank you all!

yes same here not sure what's going on...

Received a very large payment today... possibly the AI learning payment?!?

Same here.

Same

Same here. Must be a bug.

Yep, same here.

Maybe for AI training?
About the same as a monthly royalty on Adobe.

same here

Hope it is a pleasant surprise and not a problem that needs investigations

Ai training money would be great news.

Same here. Never gave away any free images, so that's not it. Likely a bug

Yes, I got today ~110$

Also got a big payment. Was worried that they'd taken a load of my work for their free collection without permission (or I'd accidently clicked a box somewhere!).

Maybe the AI payment?

another free collection batch?

Same here, a lot of money.

Same, extra 100+ without a sale.

almost 600 here.

i have never participated in any free collections

Same, I never participated in any Free collection and got sale.
Must be something to do with AI learning.

In the Adobe discord reports of up to 2300 dollars and that Ai only accounts got the money as well.

Interesting mystery.

...same by me...
if it is not a bug, then it might be only digital data licenses for AI generated content, - reference images...

can you share adobe discord link please, thanks

Same here. Decent amount. Can't request payout yet though. Maybe because it's too close to the previous request which is still processing.

I usually check my sales only and completely missed this. 300$+ here. Pretty nice if real but would also want to know what it comes from

I think it was another buyout, renting the pictures for a year. One was in in July and now another. I think it was same time last year. At least I hope it is not a bug .

its free collection up-front payment, go to your contributor dashboard and check "Eligible for free collection". I never agree with this free collection

If you didn't agree, then this isn't it. And I know more people, who did not agree or was not offered, and they still get this payment. Also, I agreed and my images are still in review. I expect payment at the end of September
