EntityCountLimitExceeded.ACCOUNT_LIMIT too many budgets ??

[Yang Yang]

I got the following error. yes I know I have too many budgets . but I  deleted all of them. so the "deleted" budgets also count towards the quota? but then how could I purge them so as not to hit the QUOTA?

thanks

Yang

Hi Yang,

SHARED_BUDGETS_PER_ACCOUNT limit refers to the maximum number of active explicitly shared budgets per account. Deleting the shared budgets should solve the problem. If this isn't working for you, feel free to share your customer id and I'll take a look.

I'm having the same problem. You have asked to delete the shared budget to solve this issue. Can you explain this ?
How is it happening? Why this happening? We are using the existing budget amount for the new campaigns too.

Hi Subin,

There's an upper limit on the number of active shared budgets we allow in an account. To fix the issue, 

- Login to your AdWords account and navigate to shared budgets.

- Find all the budgets that don't have an associated campaign.

- Delete some of them.

You can also do this through the API, https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/budgets#removing_a_budget has the relevant details.
