After about a fortnight, you should cancel and resubmit. It should be around a week to ten days for indies, but there is a bit of a backlog owing to a lypse. Still, not as far back as yours, which presumably got stuck in the system if they're still showing as Pending.

Yes, it used to be 10 days give or take, but my last batches (submitted in mid April) took about 3 weeks to get reviewed

Takes about a week maybe 10 days.  If they are in pending like that for a while for me, often seems to be due to reviewers thinking there is a copyright issue on what I photographed (building or they notice writing on a dog tag even though I have a property release for the dog and submitted it).

Over 2 weeks. Last illustration was 20 days. Don't waste time uploading again because somebody here is a nervous nellie. DM is also making connection errors. Accepted file shows as pending. IS is screwed like usually. Something wrong at Getty.

Does 2nd May uploaded till NOW (21st May) sound like lost in the pipeline or par for the course nowadays? I'm not aware of it taking SO long, for indies, in the past.....

Long but it does not matter. There are no sales.

Good point. 2-3 week reviews for some cheap subs. Does not matter.

It matters.
OK - subs are rubbish but with their PP etc they are still my number 2 agency (I am indie).

Check over on the iS forum to confirm current ballpark review time for indies. Exclusives is around 36h IME.

Non-exclusive, and it's running a consistent 3 weeks for me - and then of course however much time it spends in "this file is publishing" post-inspection, which is going on several days.
