Hi!

I'm facing a though problem due to an apparent limitation of the CampaignCriterionService.

I'm trying to download the criterions for all the campaigns in one of our accounts... it's a BIG one... with 9000+ campaigns in it.

Of course I do the paging to recover page after page of results... but at one point, I get an error saying:
An error has occurred: [SelectorError.START_INDEX_IS_TOO_HIGH @ ; trigger:'100500']

So, apparently, we cannot download more than 100 500 criterions from an account, and I'm not even downloading the keywords!, just the locations, proximity and AdSchedules.

Of the 100 500 criterions I was able to download, the breakdown goes as follows:

AdSchedule 90961


Location 8667
Proximity       
872

Part of the  problem is that it downloads a bunch of criterions that are associated with removed campaigns. 

I cannot find any way to filter them out using a predicate in my query.  Any idea?

I guess part of the solution will be to go through all these ghost criterions and try to REMOVE them, right?

But even with the cleanup done, I'm pretty sure I'll be close to the 100 500 limit... and will hit soon (with all excess data cleaned).
