False error on creation of Ad Group Criteria

[Yihua Shi]

Hi team,

I'm receiving GoogleAdsException while trying to create 10,000 Ad Group Criteria (product groups) through Google Ads API call (v11). The error message says that the number of ad group criteria would exceed the limit of 20,000 in this request and showing an existing count of 15,012 Ad Group Criteria for now.

However, the actual existing number of Ad Group Criteria is far below that number (which is 18) and should not exceed that resource limit at all. I've confirmed that existing count of Ad Group Criteria for that Ad Group is just 18 via both Google Ads web interface and GAQL (SELECT ad_group_criterion.criterion_id FROM ad_group_criterion WHERE ad_group.id = 139347036852).

The request details are given below:

com.google.ads.googleads.v11.errors.GoogleAdsException: errors {

error_code {

resource_count_limit_exceeded_error: RESOURCE_LIMIT

}

message: "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."

}

}

}

Could you please take a look at this request and check if this is a false error?

Thanks!
