Fix Budget Settings Not What You Expected

Symptom checklist for budget settings not what you expected: auth, credits, structure, or expected PAUSED behavior.

If budget settings not what you expected blocks you, freeze bid edits and inspect product layers first.

  • Checklist for budget settings not what you expected: (1) OAuth scopes and correct customer ID, (2) Starter/Growth/Enterprise campaign or sync limits, (3) whether empty sync is a credit or tracking issue, (4) MCP PAT vs OAuth mismatch if using hosted MCP.
  • Fix the AdsDoneEasy path; do not invent auto-bid or live Meta workarounds.
  • Re-test after one change; avoid stacking MCP, OAuth, and bid edits.
  • Publish stays PAUSED; AdsDoneEasy does not auto-bid; Google bills media spend.
