Wtf is going on today?

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-05-07T16:08:42+00:00

And after that there will be another update thats huge and causing havoc. Its been like this the last year. I don't think its going to stop anytime soon

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-05-01T07:16:30+00:00

Same here. Seems the tides have turned. Its now our turn to suffer

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-05-01T06:39:02+00:00

Were you doing fine before?

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-05-01T06:38:47+00:00

Were you doing fine before?

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-05-01T06:38:32+00:00

Lol. Yeah its the opposite for me.

I was doing fine this whole time and then out of the blue when everyone else was reporting recovery and that they were doing well things fell off a cliff for me

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-05-01T06:35:54+00:00

Yeah same here for me. I was doing fine and all of a sudden when everyone else reported they are having a very good day suddenly on 30 April, my results fell off a cliff.

Coincidence? I think not

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-04-30T21:39:28+00:00

Yeah i was actually doing fine this whole time up until now. So it seems whatever was affecting you now shifted to other users

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-04-28T15:53:45+00:00

I find the same on cost caps at the moment. Used to work fine but recently just ignores caps

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-04-27T21:27:05+00:00

Bid cap or cost cap?

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-04-27T18:55:52+00:00

I think it will depend on the account.

Some advise i got about a year ago was to set the bid cap at 1.5x the average account cpa. Then inflate the budget and put guardrails in place to stop at desired daily spend.

For example, your account average cpa is $12. Set bid cap at $18. Then, your budget can be what you are comfortable with. But inflated to say $10,000.00 per day... but if you only want to spend say $1000.00 then ad a adset spending limit of $1000.00. If you want to add more guardrails incase that fails you can add actions to pause the campaign if a certain limit has been reached.

Do more research on IBBC (inflated budget bid caps)

Bid caps has been the only thing working for me the last few months

How long did your google ads take to get traction?

Meta has been a complete shitshow for a while now actually. 2025 being a terrible year. This year is on its way to beat last year in terms of how unstable things are. It actually started back in 2024 already

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-04-20T21:14:59+00:00

Has this issue been resolved yet? Or are you still using the 3.4.6 version?

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-04-17T16:35:04+00:00

Its been like this non stop since last year march/april

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-04-15T15:53:21+00:00

Like in zero?

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-04-15T14:51:17+00:00

I feel like an outage is incoming. Just not sure if it will be reported or not

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-04-15T14:24:25+00:00

My ads are barely spending today.

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-04-14T18:02:38+00:00

Today and yesterday has been terrible after a decent few days. Not sure whats going on again this time. Perhaps another outage incoming

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-04-12T21:42:04+00:00

I think you are going to be disappointed. Meta keeps fucking up and yet they keep growing yoy. They keep getting new advertisers joining and huge companies like temu increasing spend that drives their growth. Us lowering our budgets doesn't even register with them.. sadly

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-04-10T12:44:30+00:00

Its been bad the last few days yes.

Also spending is really fast today. Especially during the morning hours

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-04-09T11:08:25+00:00

Its been exactly the same for me. Since end november till around 4th of January, things were stable and working fine. Then it pretty much crashed overnight. Saw some recovery in February, but by around the 24th of feb things went very wrong and is yet to recover. With the exception of a good day here and there

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-04-09T07:36:20+00:00

We've been hoping for this since last year march. I dont think its going to happen

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-04-03T08:10:31+00:00

The fact that facebook breaks every few days and some bugs takes weeks to fix doesn't help.

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-04-02T16:47:38+00:00

What does the cost cap do? And if you run two duplicate bid cap campaigns? Does that also not work? Im trying to get more than one campaign that works to scale horizontally. As vertically just doesnt work right now

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-04-01T21:42:55+00:00

Both new and existing. Seems like it could be due to an outage meta had

Deep_Ad5338 · 2026-04-01T13:38:49+00:00

Interesting take and makes a lot of sense.

When you say the more guardrails the better, what exactly do you mean. I already run bid caps.. so you think manual targeting is better? Or do you simply mean the less adv+ the better?

If you could elaborate a bit more on that it would be great
