   Status: ENABLED
   BudgetId: 14792020525
   Current budget (from GAQL): 24.2

Attempting to update budget via AdsApp.budgets().withIds([14792020525]) ...
Budget object found. Old amount (via AdsApp.budgets): 24.2
Called bObj.setAmount(21.78)
Read-back from AdsApp.budgets(): 24.2
---- VERIFICATION DETAILS ----
Requested NEW_BUDGET: 21.78
GAQL current budget before update: 24.2
BudgetId used for update: 14792020525
Read-back amount from AdsApp.budgets(): 24.2
 VERIFICATION FAILED: read-back != NEW_BUDGET
Detailed failure reasons:
  - NEW_BUDGET attempted: 21.78
  - Value returned after update: 24.2
  - Google has RESET the budget back to original value immediately.
    This happens when the budget is auto-managed (tROAS / PMax / Shared / 
Portfolio).
  - The write was IGNORED (no error thrown).
    This usually means:
      • Budget is shared or non-editable
      • Or budget belongs to a package/portfolio
      • Or account is using a smart bidding automation
  - This budget may NOT be editable via AdsApp.budgets().
  - Check if multiple campaigns share the same budgetId.

Can anyone help me with this please...I can't change my budget through script getting this message.
