You did not get my point. And you maybe not familar with envato system.
The themeforest will limit the maximum item approval per days. Because if too much items approve, then new items will get very low sale. I believe if themeforest don’t control it, it will approval 100-200 items per days for sure!
They are trying to keep number of approval per day smaller, which make author more profit, if your item approval and it get into page 2-3 , it will get low sale.
I have worked for 5 years. My usually review time is around 1-2 weeks. I never had a review times more than one month. Now all my items passed 1.5-2 months and it does not finish yet.
I also asked my friends who are elites also , have more than 2 years of experiences and they are the same.
