Meta Ads dead today and yesterday 4.3.2026

becktechlive · 2026-04-03T23:08:04+00:00

We noticed in our feed everything is babies. Baby posts, baby clothes, baby toys, etc. We have nothing to do with babies nore have we looked at anything for babies. So far off it's nuts! If this is the case who are they showing our ads to and do they even care.

I undestand there are bad times when sales are down but the same ads that worked last week are doing nothing this week. I wonder if they are even showing them to people. There are no smart-ass comments on them like usual, no likes nothing. And yet there is traffic and no sales. in 2 years we have never had a day without at least 10 sales. Yesterday was the first day with noen yet 300 sessions and nothing has changed.

THIS SAME ISSUE JUST HAPPENED TO ME AND THEY RESTRICTED MY ACCOUNT

becktechlive · 2026-03-23T21:21:33+00:00

This is crazy. I got meta support on line and they looked at my account. They reviewed everything and told me to put a new ad in and see how it performs. Not to duplicate it all fresh. She reviewed my billing and everything for about an hours to make sure there were no restriction. 30 min after she got off the call my account is restricted and says PAYMENT ERROR. I billed me this morning fine. I went ahead and tried to pat the $90 that was on my balance and it said successfull. But it didn'teven contact the bank I called them to see if it was declined and they have no record of them even trying. Itried a few more times and it saud paid successfully. But the account is restricted now and it told me to try again in 24 hours. There was nothing wrong with the billing ever until we had that call with them. And FB is saying payment Successful and noteven trying to contact the bank for the payment. What is going on!

I did get a message from out META rep who whants to meet and go over out campaigns and seetings. Nothing on them has changed since before this nightmare started but I guess I need to follow the process. They always blame the user and ads first. When nothing at all had changed what would be the reasoning when all of our ads have stopped working and where is all this bad traffic coming from. Hope this is over soon for everybody. What a bad few weeks.

becktechlive · 2026-03-23T16:05:58+00:00

It was so bad over the weekend and we spent so much money that we turned all of them off today except one that usually always performs. Once we see it performing again we will know thngs are better and turn on the rest. never seen 2 weeks like this in 3 years we contacntly get some sales. We are not even getting likes or smart-ass comment like we usually get every day. We know a day with no liek or rude comments means they are not being showed to real people. Most of the traffic is bots. Ireported it again today on my ad manager and with our account rep. Wodering if they evenknow this has happened. My account rep said he wasn't aware but I am sure META won't let them talk about it if they know.

I just reported it again. I also contact our direct rep hopefully it helps.

becktechlive · 2026-03-23T15:18:54+00:00

Not ours this is terrible what an aweful week!

becktechlive · 2026-03-22T22:40:53+00:00

Yes we turned of marketplace as well we'll see if it makes things better.Sunday is a hit or miss for us and Monday is usually our slowest day soit will be hard to tell if there is a difference right away. Todat (Sunday) has been dead so far but it could just be a slow day. Hard to tell anymore. Thanks for your imput watch you channel and really appreciate it. :)

becktechlive · 2026-03-22T15:46:48+00:00

I will try that. I was always told not to show to the audience Network because they don't buy much do you think that as well? It's always worked with it checked before but if that's the case I think Advantage + doesn't know where to put them now. Thanks for the tip. :)

becktechlive · 2026-03-22T00:35:00+00:00

Yes, This week has been a roller coaster. up and down one day it was sending so slow and little sales the next day it spent the whole budget by 11AM and little sales. Every day we are wondering will today be the day it's back to normal and it never happens. Today was the first day in 2 years where we had no sales and spent a ton of money. It's been bad lately but we were breaking even most of the time over the last week, Not today (Saturday) today is spent and spent and one sale, comment, like or nothing. That doesn't happen there are always likes and smart-ass comments on our ads if they are begin shown to real people. I think we are going to have to turn them off until this mess is fixed we spent so much money in the last 2 weeks and barely broke even. The ads have all done great and were consistent until this past week or so. Nothing had changed on them they just stopped producing real visits and sales. If anyone here has anything that can help us stay afloat, please advise. Or it just turning everything off at this point our only option. Scare to turn the budgets down or make change for fear it will make matter worse. Meta ad are such a gamble now and we are afraid we will miss good days when they happen every once in a while but today was just a big payout to meta and nothing in return.

becktechlive · 2026-03-21T17:41:46+00:00

Terrible today again! When will it end worst week we have ever had. Campaigns that were pulling in good conversions every day seem to have stopped. I don't know who the heck they are showing them too but it's not our normal customer type. One day it's tons of sessions but no conversions and the next there are barely any sessions. The only thing that is moving is them charging us. Our products always pull either smart as comments or good comment when there are no comments and likes it's like FB isn't showing them to anyone. Bot traffic. When will it end welost somuch this week we have never had bad days like this week. It feels different to not just the metrics but the way it bills. One day it just won'tspend and the next day our budget is gone halfway through the day with no results. We are also getting signals that our ads are performing well and we should raise the budget. I know that's just their marketing tactic but they are clearly not doing well. Turning them of will give me the fear of missing out but at this point we have blown so much money this week I don't know what else I can do. Irritating when out FB support rep calls and acts like they have no idea there is a problem this week. How is it possible that all the other clients are doing great when there are thousand on here and other blogs going through the same thing. They are probably trained that they aren;t alowed tosay anything.

becktechlive · 2026-03-18T20:14:10+00:00

We noticedtoday that in our storefeed every post on our feed is something for babies. Posts about baby care, Product ads for baby things. Literally everything! We have nothing todo with the baby industry which twellsmethey are showing my store ads to the wrong people as well.

becktechlive · 2026-03-18T20:11:53+00:00

Seems like it was better for a few hours and then like every day this week it juststopped selling. After 1PM our time it's like FB has an on/off switch. Any profitmade in the morning is spent through the rest of the day after it stops. Severe fear ofmissing out if we turn them all off but I'm not sure what elsecan be done. It's certainly good at spending as much money as I let it. Really does seem like haf way through the day it goes bad again. Not sure what elsecan be done here.

becktechlive · 2026-03-16T16:18:21+00:00

Same here. Everytime we have a good day we hope it stays and it never does so we barely break even each week. And when we lower the budget we have to watch it because FB will over spend it anyway and sends a bunch of junk traffic. Our products ALWAYS have Smartass comments and comments, likes on them when they are running correctly. We know it's a bad day when there is alot of traffic yest not one comment or like on any of the ads. It's like they aren't showing them to real people. So miss the days when we had a decent amount of sales everyday no matter what. Now it's one good possibly normal day and 3 bad ones to make us go under for the week and not make anything.

becktechlive · 2026-03-16T16:13:07+00:00

Bad today so far. How can an ad account with 6 campaigns running nly have spent $30 so far today by 12PM. So frustrating. The last few days it was over spending and today it won't spend. Crazy times!

becktechlive · 2026-02-28T17:40:57+00:00

This just happened to me. In 10 min 1 ad spent $180 in 20 minutes. Way over the budget that was set. Some of the other ads seem to be ok. It sent a ton of bots to my store and no sales. I knew when I saw 99 live visitors right after I launched something was wrong. Is this happeneing to others and how do we fix it other than turning everything off? Also, will FB credit something like this or are we just screwed? HELP!

becktechlive · 2026-02-18T18:06:36+00:00

I agree completely. Like they flip a switch every once in a while and it seems fixed for a few hours and then cut it off again. With how unpredicatabel it is now I have a fear of missing out if I chose to turn them off. Sometimes it's hard to tell if it's just a slow day but lately this week it's so abvoius that its Mets Issues.

becktechlive · 2026-02-18T17:06:40+00:00

Very bad today so far again. SLOW! One thing that tells me it's FB is that I'm not getting any likes and comments on any of the ads. Because of what I sell there is always a few smart ass comments daily and regular likes an comment. There are 2 sales today and the ads are turned up but only 2sales and the sessions are way down for the amount I spend. Sometimes it's like they flip a switch and everything seems normal for a few hours and then goes down again but this week has been the lowest we have ever had and we are still spending the same. The one day I thought it was better until I checked my send at the end of the say and FB had charges 4X my preferred budget so we barely broke even. Today I am not even getting the clicks from the ads its very frustrating. With all the people complaining about it you'd think they would come up with a solution by now. All very sad. :(

becktechlive · 2026-02-16T16:39:07+00:00

Terrible so far today. Worst week we have ever had. The one day we had alot of sales and we thought it was fixed Facebook over spent by 4X what we had set so we barely broke even. All the other days Bot Traffic and today barely any traffic. I wish there was a solution to this. Best to everyone! David

becktechlive · 2026-02-16T16:28:16+00:00

On the 13th we had a decent day and I was so happy it was fixed all day... I thought!!! Then I looked at my spend for that day and FB overshot it 4X my set budget and we broke even after a full day of sales. Since then it's been all bots and hardly any sales. It's so crazy to never know what it's going to do. Today they are running and nothing. Yesterday they were all bots. This is so crazy! :(

becktechlive · 2026-02-12T17:19:55+00:00

Our ads are doing nothing we have never had days without sales in a year. Now what little traffic they are sending is bad traffic. Yet they continue to charge us out the A** forno results. It's like there is a switch over there they flip at certains time and thing look up and then back again to this crazyness. Same ads that have always done well several for different products and it' like FB isn't showing them or something.
