CampaignService returns wrong serving status for limited by budget campaign

[Vyacheslav Korneev]

Hello.

We have Google Ads display campaign with ID 8434733511 that shows "limited by budget" status on UI, but returns serving status "SERVING" in CampaignService API instead of the required "SUSPENDED" status (if I understand the documentation correctly).

So, what I'd like to ask is 1) whether the CampaignService should actually return "SUSPENDED" serving status for limited by budget campaigns and 2) if my understanding is right, then what can be done to solve this problem and retrieve the right serving status for this campaign?

Sincerely yours,

Hello,

A campaign that is limited by budget does not indicate that the campaign is no longer serving or is suspended. It simply means that the average daily budget is lower than the recommended amount. You can find more information on campaign statuses here.

Thank you for quick and helpful response.

Yet there is one more thing I'd like to clarify. How can I get the limited by budget status through the API then? I don't see such option in CampaignService, so probably I'm missing something.

Hi Vyacheslav,

The 'limited by budget' status is not available in the AdWords API. However, this can be addressed in the Google Ads API, using the recommendation service. If you are interested in using the Ads API, I would recommend looking over the migration guide.
