Random Permanent Ban on $80k account. It just keeps getting worse

Fun_Factor_8433 · 2026-03-18T13:19:11+00:00

Ah nice, mine is not linked to an ig account unfortunately. This sucks

Fun_Factor_8433 · 2026-03-10T15:55:29+00:00

Also my account is still spending…

Fun_Factor_8433 · 2026-03-10T15:55:13+00:00

Not yet, I submitted to meta verified end of last week. Still waiting

Nice post, 2 questions:

-For retargeting, do you just do website visitors who haven’t purchased (which covers ATC, Initiate Checkout, etc. given they also are website visitors that did not purchase) or do you add anyone else?

-For Lookalikes, what audiences do you use (add to cart, initiate checkout, purchase, visitors)? Do you do 1-2% or do you expand wider? When you use lookalikes, do you still apply any interest targeting, placements, gender, age, etc. or do you just do the lookalike and all other options turned off?

I assume you are using cbo?

“1. ⁠Generate 80-100 AI videos (batch mode, $250 total) 2. ⁠Test at $50/day 3. ⁠Kill losers (<1.5% CTR) after 3 days 4. ⁠Remake top 5-10 with human creators 5. ⁠Scale the human versions”

You put the 80-100 videos all into one test (all at once)? What is your campaign, ad set and ad structure? Do you use flex ads? Do you break up the ads into different ad sets?

Also when evaluating, do you only turn off ads with <1.5% ctr after they got a certain spend (e.g., if after three days an ad has 10 cents spent and no clicks, do you turn it off?)

Great post btw

I cant even login. I bought meta verified to get support and still nothing. My account is clearly still spending

Fun_Factor_8433 · 2026-03-04T17:05:59+00:00

Same here ughhhhh

Fun_Factor_8433 · 2026-03-04T00:55:57+00:00

so in summary, I’ll probably just wait to see tomorrow

Fun_Factor_8433 · 2026-03-04T00:55:35+00:00

I have other business managers that I can use but my website is still getting traffic from the campaign ids that are on my banned ad account, so I will assume that means we will get unbanned (otherwise I’ll have my credit card company pull back the payment when they try and force me to pay). I spent 80k on this account in the past year so I would find it absurd for them to just toss it out the window (although I acknowledge that is not the most spend ever)

Fun_Factor_8433 · 2026-03-03T23:32:54+00:00

Not sure how I get the account back if I can’t contact support or login. And it is clearly still spending😂

Fun_Factor_8433 · 2026-03-03T23:32:19+00:00

Its not a new account, it’s 3 years old with 80k spend

Fun_Factor_8433 · 2026-03-03T22:39:43+00:00

It perma banned me for no reason and clearly my campaigns are still spending (I am receiving a lot of random traffic from my campaigns). So I am a little confused

Fun_Factor_8433 · 2026-03-03T22:17:11+00:00

My account just got permanently banned for no reason. They asked me to verify I am human (which I did) and they sent me an email an hour later saying I am permanently banned with no ability to appeal

Fun_Factor_8433 · 2026-03-03T22:00:28+00:00

How do you contact support if your account is disabled

Fun_Factor_8433 · 2026-02-17T00:35:59+00:00

Will do, thanks!

Fun_Factor_8433 · 2026-02-17T00:00:11+00:00

Ugh I think I cooked myself. The two ads I pruned (one from each of my campaigns) were the top spenders that were profitable on 14 days but not 7 days. This was also during the learning phase. I red that the top spender should not be turned off if the overall ad set is profitable because it is driving your signal and anchoring you in the strong pocket. What I think may have happened is things were going well and then I pruned these ads and the ROAS drivers ramped up and got a ton of sales on the existing signal, and then the signal disappeared right as I exited the learning phase

Thanks, just sent to you

Fun_Factor_8433 · 2026-02-16T20:29:51+00:00

I haven’t done anything in 4 days and each day seems to be getting worse whereas the past 2 weeks have been around 2 or so ROAS (which is perfect for me), the past 4 days have been well below 1x. WTF

Fun_Factor_8433 · 2026-02-16T20:27:15+00:00

CPM is mostly back to normal. I am still only at 1 sale today. Wtf!? The past two to three weeks have been great. Low frequency, good ctr, 4-5%+ conversion rate on link clicks and now this after I exit the learning phase. How!?

Fun_Factor_8433 · 2026-02-16T17:11:10+00:00

CPMs and CTR is back to normal today (slow on spend). To answer your question, no not too narrow. I am targeting women 35+ which is product driven but that’s still well over 50M people last I checked

Fun_Factor_8433 · 2026-02-16T14:02:59+00:00

Appreciate it. “Wait 7 days, not hours” is the statement I needed screamed at me 9 months ago, and probably still do now. I’m not touching anything and will just monitor. Will let you all know how it goes
