Hi everyone,

We're trying to push some new Responsive Display Ads using the API but we're seeing the following error:

Error found:
"errorCode":
"resourceCountLimitExceededError": "RESOURCE_LIMIT" "message":
"This request would exceed a limit on the number of allowed resources.
"trigger": "stringValue": "ENABLED_TEXT_CREATIVES_PER_AD_GROUP"


According to the documentation, the following limits are established:
  •     300 image or gallery ads per ad group
  •     50 active text and non-image/gallery ads per ad group

Can you help me clarify what this means for RDAs? They're a combination of image ads + responsive text ads, so I'm assuming I'm only allowed to create 50 RDAs per ad group. Would you say that's correct?

Hi Jcas,

Thank you for raising this concern to Google Ads API support team.

With regard to your concern, I can see that you are encountering esource_count_limit_exceeded_error: RESOURCE_LIMIT error, it means that this request would exceed a limit on the number of allowed resources. The details of which type of limit was exceeded will eventually be returned in ErrorDetails as discussed in this document.

Moving forward to your question, I wasn't able to find any document about a number of limits of responsive display ads, could you please clarify where you saw that limit? You can send it via Reply privately to the author option. If this option is not available, then send it instead on this email address googleadsapi-support@google.com alias instead.

Best regards,

I sent the requested info.

I'd just need to know how many RDAs are allowed per ad group.

Thanks!

Hello,

I am having trouble opening the file from your drive, likely because it is ~100 MB in size. Is it possible for you to provide us with the request, and the relevant part of the response given in the error message (index 1214)? 

Please also check if this error message is related to the ad limits specified on this page.

Regards,
Matt

Matt,

If you look at my first message you'll see that I mentioned the limits specified in the documentation you just shared. That's already something I checked but doesn't answer my question: "What's the limit of RDAs per ad group"?

I'll send the requested details privately.

Best,
Juan

Hi,

I wanted to check if there are any updates about this. I'd like to know the limitations at the moment of bulk creating new RDAs.

Thanks,
Juan

Hi,

Apologies for the delay. The team confirmed that RDAs follow the same entity limit as standard text ads - 50 active ads per ad group. 

Cheers
