EntityCountLimitExceeded.ACCOUNT_LIMIT, limit=1000000, existingCount=1000129

This error occurs on Excluding placements

The full error:

error: unknown exclude error in adwords API Server raised fault: 

    '[EntityCountLimitExceeded.ACCOUNT_LIMIT @ operations[0] 

        (enclosingId=6329612332, limit=1000000, 

         accountLimitType=CAMPAIGN_CRITERIA_PER_ACCOUNT, 

         existingCount=1000129),

1. We tried to delete criteria, from other campaigns, but the existingCount above didn't change.

We tried to remove the following criteria:

• remove excluded placements
• remove other criteria (countries)
• remove a (paused) campaign

2. The limits page says we're clear out of the limits:

• An account can have 5,000,000 criteria items; but this counts 1,000,129 criteria,
  
• An account can have      10,000 campaigns;    We have 4,764 campaigns:      (via  "select CampaignId, Impressions from CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT")
  

3. After a day of experimenting, we stopped getting the error;    

But now we don't know what of our experiments made the change.

4. what does this error say exactly?

Thank you

Hello Berry,

Objects are not removed instantly, instead they get REMOVED status. Most objects stay in this state but those with zero stats a getting cleaned up,

I expect it was "garbage collection" that occurred somewhere in the middle.
