It's been going on for a while, apparently exacerbated by them checking to make sure we haven't been using any generative AI.
There also seem to be more 'stuck' batches than usual, for which you have to wait 15 days before contacting them.
Still, I had a batch which had been waiting since 25th Nov approved yesterday (but several uploaded after that were inspected in good time).
In other words, it's all a bit of a muddle just now, but if you get to 15 days without inspection, you can contact them. When I did that they were approved within an hour or two.

I am experiencing the same, but I don't upload much so not really an issue for me.
btw iStock "Batches", with 100 limit, are completely useless concept (second only to "managed keywords" nonsense). There is absolutely no need for it, just unnecessary clutter, both UI and back-end. All that is needed are 2 FIFO queues per contributor - 1 for RF, other for editorial. Adobe doesn't even bother with 2 queues, every contributor has just one, tick photo if editorial. Simple and effective.
