Hi,

The Budget Optimizer bidding strategy was deprecated in v201402 (see the v201402 migration guide). Please use the TargetSpendBiddingScheme going forward. The Budget Optimizer fields and enums still exist in the API so users can read those values from objects created in earlier versions of the API.

For instructions on changing a campaign's bidding strategy, please refer to the Bidding Guide.

Cheers,

Hi Josh

What will you do with existing BUDGET_OPTIMIZER campaigns?

Will there be a forced migration in the near future?

Thanks

Hi,

We don't have a timeline at this point of when or if we'll migrate BUDGET_OPTIMIZER campaigns. If that changes we'll announce it on our blog.
