This operation is only allowed after you confirm if this campaign has European Union political ads.

My campaigns are certainly not targeting EU, nor my API code has changed.
I believe this is an issue in the G Ads API.

Hi,
Thank you for contacting the Google Ads API support team.
As previously announced, Google will discontinue serving political advertising in the European Union in anticipation of new regulations effective October 2025. On September 3, 2025, the Google Ads API and Google Ads scripts implemented related enforcements. Users using these products for campaign creation or management may need to update their applications to accommodate these changes before September 3, 2025.
The Google Ads API and Google Ads scripts now support self-declaration for campaigns containing EU political ads. A definition of an EU political ad is available here. API versions v19.2, v20.1, and v21 include a new field, contains_eu_political_advertising, within the Campaign object. Possible values and their meanings are mentioned in the blog post.
I hope it helps. If still getting the same errors, to investigate the issue further, kindly provide us with the complete API logs (request and response with request-id and request header) generated at your end when editing campaign locations via API.
If you are using a client library and haven't enabled the logging yet, I would request you to enable logging for the specific client library that you are using. You can refer to the guides for Java, .Net, PHP, Python, Ruby, or Perl to enable logging at your end. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag.
You can send the details via the Reply privately to the author option or direct private reply to this email.
