Need to add a large number of ads - hitting Rate Exceeded error

[Chris Allan]

Hi Guys,

We are running into an issue with trying to create a large number of new ads, due to the temporary restriction described here http://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/2015/06/temporary-limits-on-ad-uploads-in.html

Is it possible for us to discuss how we can address this problem for this specific account we want to create the new ads for?

Cheers,

Chris

Hello Chris,

As announced this limits affects every API user and can't be adjusted unfortunately. This is unavoidable as we see a very large spike of new ad submissions in the last few days.

Please schedule your jobs to run in smaller chunks to be uploaded over several days. Note, this is a temporary limit we expect to lift in several weeks.

Hi Danial,

can you tell me how the limits are measured? Is it a counter that's reset at midnight or is it a limit for the last 24 hours?

I'd like to split my jobs and I want to know if it's safe to start the upload the same time each day or if I have to start 24h hours after the last operation was finished.

The Rate Exceeded Exceptions suggests to wait for 24 hours (86400 Seconds), but I'd like to start the job the same time each day.

Cheers,

Christian

Oh, nevermind. I just saw, that the limit already has been removed.
