post_count for only posts with thumbnail

1. You have to check it in a different way;

   $post_with_thumbs = 0;
   if ( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
     while ( $my_query->have_posts() ): $my_query->the_post();
       if (  has_post_thumbnail()) {
               $post_with_thumbs++;
           }
     endwhile;
   }
   wp_reset_query();
   
   if ($post_with_thumbs >= 3) {
       //do stuff
   }

2. You must do the loop, because thumbnail relationships are not resolved automatically:

   $postsWithThumbs = 0;
   
   while($my_query->have_posts()){
     $my_query->the_post();
   
     if(has_post_thumbnail())
       $postsWithThumbs++;
   }
   
   wp_reset_postdata();
   
   print $postsWithThumbs;

3. I’m not sure if this still works, but from this thread you can select posts with a thumbnail by specifying meta_key=_thumbnail_id in your original query.
