Budget object limit

[Alin Baicu]

Hey, 
We are creating campaign programatically using the batch jobs processing. First we are creating campaign_budget operation in order for it to be attached to the new campaign operation. The problem here is that I got the following messages from the batch_job processing:
INFO - value: "\n\316\001\n\003\310\003\n\022_The request would cause a limit on the number of allowed resources of this type to be exceeded.\0320*.ENABLED_IMPLICITLY_SHARED_BUDGETS_PER_CUSTOMER\"4\022\025\n\021mutate_operations\030\000\022\033\n\031campaign_budget_operation"

I got the following questions:

1. I read that there is a limit on shared_budget of 11000 per account but I did not find anything related to the campaign budget.
2. The limit of 11000 is an aggregate for all our customer Ids?
3. We can increase this limit using the following flags? 
4. EXPLICITLY_SHARED_BUDGETS_PER_CUSTOMER and IMPLICITLY_SHARED_BUDGETS_PER_CUSTOMER

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Google Ads support.

With regard to your questions, please see the below items:

1: I read that there is a limit on shared_budget of 11000 per account but I did not find anything related to the campaign budget. The limit of 11000 is an aggregate for all our customer Ids?

Kindly note that these limits are the number of entities created in a Google Ads account and not a monetary value. As noted in our documentation there is a limit of 11,000 shared budgets (entities) per account, not total per account hierarchy

3: We can increase this limit using the following flags? EXPLICITLY_SHARED_BUDGETS_PER_CUSTOMER and IMPLICITLY_SHARED_BUDGETS_PER_CUSTOMER

These are not flags but resource limit error types as indicated in our documentation here. These cannot be increased, but note that in the previous document we mention that for shared Campaign budget limits this limit applies to enabled budgets only.

I would suggest checking the amount of Campaign Budgets that you have created for the account where this error is appearing, and see how many have shared budgets explicitly enabled. We have one example query in our documentation here, you would just remove the WHERE clause in order to list all the campaigns.

Since you are using a batch job that has run multiple times you have probably created multiple enabled shared campaign budgets without noticing and are now hitting the limit. If you disable these shared Campaign budgets you should be able run your batch job again.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Hey,

I've run the following queries: 
 '''SELECT campaign_budget.name FROM campaign_budget WHERE campaign_budget.status = 'ENABLED'", -> 20584

'''SELECT campaign.name, campaign_budget.name FROM campaign_budget WHERE campaign_budget.status = 'ENABLED' ''' -> 6551
Let's resume a little bit, in the second query we have only 6k budgets because the results represent how many budgets have campaigns assigned right? So I presume the rest of 20k are not attached to any campaigns?

Hello,

You are correct. You have campaign budgets that are not assigned to specific campaigns but those still contribute to the limits.

What I think is happening is that you are making budget changes and not deleting these “orphaned” (older, unapplied) implicitly shared campaign budgets and they have reach the 20,000 limit.

Implicitly shared budgets are budgets created in the backend when a budget is set for a specific campaign.

If you delete these orphaned campaign budgets you will be able to create new ones.

Let us know if you have any other questions.
