What goes wrong
The rejections people actually hit with this requirement.
Compressed below 20 KB and rejected.
SSC enforces a floor as well as a ceiling. A 12 KB file fails exactly like a 200 KB one.
Photo looks blurred after compressing to 50 KB.
Crop to 413 × 531 px first, then compress. Compressing a 12-megapixel original down to 50 KB destroys detail unnecessarily.
