SizeLimitError.REQUEST_SIZE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED, only when removing GeoTarget (campaign criterion)

[fr...@houzz.com]

Hi Everyone,

We are trying to remove many GeoTargets (CampaignCriterion) recently. And we get this error "SizeLimitError.REQUEST_SIZE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED".

Usually, we split the operations into 2000 per requests, sometimes with batch mode depends on the number of requests. Such procedure worked fine when we add, delete or update keywords / adgroups / ad copies / etc.

However, this time when we are trying remove GeoTarget, we get this error. And now we have 2 ideas here:

1. Reduce number of operations in request

After change it from 2000 to 100, only 1/3 requests would fail

If we chanee it to 50 operations per request, every single requests would pass.

So the conclusion is that the error is not purely caused by number of operations per request.

We will use 50 as a temporary solution for now.

2. It is caused by the MB size of the SOAP request

This is still not reasonable because uploading 2000 adcopies or keywords would require a much larger SOAP xml and we've never had any problem on that.

So we are looking for help here because we may run out of rate limit if we keep using request size of 50.
