Meta Ad Accounts Stop Spending With No Error

“Tldr at the end. First I'll start with a bit of context: I promote multiple mobile gaming apps on Meta. My current spend is >$50k/mo. This is split over a few campaigns that target different apps. The games I promote are not controversial. They don't contain violence, drugs, anything likely to get us band. We only target adults. Our account and business is verified. Occasionally we have some ads get falsely rejected for promoting financial or investment services (they don't) but t”

“I do not assume an active advertising account is ready to deliver. A campaign can remain at zero spend even when the account shows no obvious restriction. The cause may sit at the payment, campaign, asset, or review level, so repeatedly increasing the budget rarely solves it. I check four areas in order. First, I inspect billing for failed payments, insufficient balance, spending limits, unsupported cards, or currency mismatches. Second, I review campaign settings, including start time, time zon”

“I’ve been dealing with a serious Meta Ads delivery issue for almost 14 days and I’m trying to figure out whether anyone else is experiencing the same thing. My ads are spending money, but the delivery and traffic are completely abnormal. The campaigns are not bringing anything close to the amount of traffic they normally do, and conversions have dropped dramatically. This is NOT an issue with one specific campaign or creative. It seems to be an account-wide problem. I also had a restric”

“Sometimes it’s less about flags and more about the algorithm needing a fresh approach, especially if your settings are the same but market dynamics shifted. Instead of manually digging through every setting, a tool like Didoo AI could automatically test different angles and targeting to nudge delivery back up without the endless guessing. It’s like having a smart assistant poking the algorithm until your ads start getting traction again. That way, you’re not stuck wondering what broke, but actua”

I don't know why this is happening. Is this happening with anyone since yesterday? My old ad sets seem to be okay.

And today, it looks like it's on par, on the path to, again, spending half the budget. It's running very slow. Should I add more ads? On $10 a day budget I'm only running 2 ads. I was hoping to add one more to test, but at this rate it's not really spending anything. Also the CPM seemed to have doubled. submitted by /u/un”

“At the end of August, I ran 3 ad sets in one campaign and they kept turning off. The error I was getting was that my budget wasn't high enough for the number of ads I had. It kept asking me to increase the budget and I did because it wasn't asking for much more. Then at the end of the month, it didn't even spend 1/3 of the allotted budget.

“Fair, and the first point is the real limitation. Meta publishes no spend or conversion data, so longevity is a survivorship filter, not an outcome. A page can survive on margin, on retargeting, or on an offer strong enough that the UX stops mattering. The score measures page craft, not conversion rate, and I should have said that more plainly above. Message match is the weakest of the eight to score alone, agreed. For the library pages I have the ad copy alongside the page, so there's somet”
