Q: shared photostream upload stopped

I decided to create some shared photo streams on my mac. I started uploading and everything was fine, then it just stopped. I did a little research and found out that there are limits of 1000 photos uploaded an hour then the upload pauses until the next hour. OK... well it's been at least 3 hours and nothing is happening. I also noticed that some of what I uploaded shows up on my devices, but not on my Mac, weird. right? I restarted iPhoto and even restarted the computer in case there was a glitch somewhere. Does anyone have any insight? I even tried deleting a stream and recreating it, nothing happened.
