Error creating campaign when account limit reached

[Albert Morcillo]

Hi,

I detected when I create a new Campaign and I reached the account limit (10.000 campaigns), I receive a new campaign Id, and it seams the campaign is created (the mutate response is returning a new campaign object), but it didn't appear at Adwords website. 

I think it should be better to return and error like "ACCOUNT_LIMIT_REACHED", because in some automatic processes where we don't check how many campaign exists for the given account it could produce some misunderstood.

I don't know if this happens too in AdGroups, Keywords, etc. it's something interesting to fix.

Regards,

Hi Albert,

That seems like odd behavior that you were able to create a campaign even though you reached your limit. Could you please reply privately to author your SOAP request and response that created this campaign?

Thanks,

Hello Albert Morcillo I can confirm sometimes we can add more than 10.000 campaigns in a single account. Im working in a test account and sometimes I was able to add around 50.000 campaigns into a single account whithout any complains from the API side. Sometimes I receive account limit exceeded  at 10.000 campaigns as it should be. Its seems adwords api does not check account limits in real time. And I must notice that in all situations all the campaigns did apperar in Adwords website. It seems its 2 different problems with some common behaviours.

Hi Albert,

Do you have the customer ID of an account where you saw this behavior so I can look into the request?

Thanks,
