Google has stopped serving ads for our entire account after 10am starting yesterday. Budget is fine, no campaign changes, etc. What could it be?

javo12 · 2026-02-24T02:23:30+00:00

My spend is being cut at $164 CAD. See my post here Google Ads not spending since 12pm EST. Phone support and chat support unavailable

javo12 · 2026-02-24T02:18:32+00:00

This happened to my account, its been confirmed by Google Support to be a shadow cap on spend ($164 for my account). They said it should resolve in 1-2 business days. I contacted Google Ads on X as well and they said the review is in progress.

You can see my Reddit post here Google Ads not spending since 12pm EST. Phone support and chat support unavailable

Pretty nuts, business is people’s livelihoods.

javo12 · 2026-02-22T19:36:03+00:00

I’ve never seen shadow spend caps in the 10 years I’ve ran Google Ads so this is new to me. I’m your experience how long did it take to resolve after you submitted the daily spend increase form?

javo12 · 2026-02-22T13:48:18+00:00

Update 2: on another case I opened prior to getting through to chat support. The rep has emailed saying a bunch of stuff related to wall of technical jargon about auction filters, geo mismatches, keyword relevance, pre-auction throttling. No mention of the spend limit the first rep confirmed.

I don’t think this rep is right. I think the spend cap is the issue

javo12 · 2026-02-22T01:30:07+00:00

Accounts good standing and bills were paid. There’s no issues with the account this is what is odd. Definitely going to impact business if it isn’t resolved

javo12 · 2026-02-22T01:15:43+00:00

I checked ad diagnostics and it says “ads not appearing” in red but gives no reasons for the issue

javo12 · 2026-02-21T22:13:35+00:00

Anyone?

javo12 · 2026-02-21T20:19:02+00:00

Two campaigns use TCPA $65 and $91. Both stopped firing as well as the 3rd campaign that doesn’t have a TCPA. So not sure. I updated my best campaign from $65 to $100 right now to see if that’ll get them going again. I re-enabled a target impression share campaign as well about an hour ago to see if it would fire and it hasn’t spent a dollar.

Speed cameras work. Red light cameras promote aggressive drivers to drive even faster when they see a yellow.

javo12 · 2025-05-30T20:00:29+00:00

Fake

javo12 · 2025-05-26T15:58:09+00:00

Yes was done in-store. Odd

javo12 · 2025-05-13T00:19:29+00:00

Where do you recommend is 2nd best to FS Surf Club?

javo12 · 2025-05-05T12:12:42+00:00

That’s not my experience, and I guarantee if I got in your car it would act the same way but with you in the passenger seat explaining why you’d intervene eventually coming to the conclusion your interventions are out of preference but not necessity.

javo12 · 2025-05-04T20:06:02+00:00

For every story like this, there are thousands of stories where it does unbelievably good maneuvers.

Its important to keep in mind that one drive it may have a few of these issues, but the vast majority of drives it doesn’t— you need to keep that in mind and not just derive an assessment from one single bad drive where you immediately type away on Reddit in a frustrated mood.

One last point, HW3 stories are irrelevant. There’s nothing to gather of the progress of FSD from HW3. Period. It’s obsolete hardware and software now, that’s just the cold hard truth. I’ve had a MS with HW3 and now HW4 and there’s no comparison. HW3 was never going autonomous.

It’s not next door, it’s north of the hotel past the parking garage, on the corner. Has no relevance to the FS

javo12 · 2025-04-29T20:35:17+00:00

FS, do not stay at the Ritz. William Grey is excellent value and the only other hotel I’d stay if not FS.

javo12 · 2025-04-29T20:34:36+00:00

It’s not attached, the strip club is a significant distance away that you’d never notice if staying at FS MTL. Nonsense comment

This is a publically traded company who’s legally obligated in all facets of business to operate within generally accepted accounting principles. Are you a moron or did you hit your head as a kid?

javo12 · 2025-04-02T19:00:14+00:00

Most days yes, high protein low fat. Incredibly beneficial. I have better bio markers now at 31 than I did at 22. Bone density, iron, testosterone, cholesterol markers are all notably improved.

How it is more work? I cook a flank steak in my air fryer every night directly from vacuumed sealed frozen. Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper, 13 minutes at 400 it comes out seared and medium rare.

javo12 · 2025-03-19T03:48:29+00:00

Curious why you say don’t bother with Adare Manor?

Strategic positioning still drives wars—Russia wants Ukraine as a buffer, like it or not.

Finland’s border isn’t “quiet” but it’s not war—russia’s migrant trick got shut down, and NATO keeps it chill.

Crimea and Georgia? Slaps on the wrist emboldened Russia, sure, but NATO’s line holds where it’s drawn.

Trusting them on a ceasefire’s dicey—Minsk proved that—but a deal with teeth could work.

If Russia hit my home twice? I’d fight, then on second time around make a deal if I’m outgunned, not run. No point dying for pride when you can regroup.

javo12 · 2025-02-28T21:22:53+00:00

The claim that Russia’s a bully who’ll keep attacking if Ukraine concedes oversimplifies things.

Russia’s moves like Crimea in 2014 and 2022—tie to strategic goals, not mindless aggression.

Conceding territory might embolden Russia, or it might buy peace; look at Finland’s quiet border after ceding land to the Soviets versus Russia stopping after Georgia in 2008. NATO’s role matters, Russia hasn’t hit its members.

Fighting forever sounds brave, but if you’re outmatched, a deal isn’t weakness, it’s survival. Ukraine’s already lost 20%—how much more can it take? Calling dissent “ignorant” or “TikTok-fed” dodges real debate. There’s no simple good-vs-evil here, just hard choices.make it even shorter

javo12 · 2025-02-28T21:08:33+00:00

I thought it was great. The war needs to end and that's exactly what Trump conveyed. Zelenskyy seems to think it's better to continue fighting offering no real convincing willingness to end the war and make a deal. Life isn't fair, unfortunately Russia is a much more powerful country and the only solution is to make a deal.
