Hello team,

I am trying to run an MCC-level script to check the current balance of my sub-accounts (I manage over 100 accounts).

However, every method I try to fetch billing information fails. I have already confirmed that my user account **can** see the "Billing Summary" page for my clients manually through the UI.

The issue only happens via scripts.

Here is what I tried:

  1. AdsApp.currentAccount().getBalance()

    • Error: TypeError: ...getBalance is not a function

  2. AdsApp.currentAccount().getBillingAccount()

    • Error: TypeError: ...getBillingAccount is not a function

  3. GAQL Query (Final Attempt):

    • SELECT ... FROM payments_account

    • Error: UserError: MutateError.UNSPECIFIED: Call to GoogleAdsService.Search failed: Resource PAYMENTS_ACCOUNT is blocked.

This final error, "Resource PAYMENTS_ACCOUNT is blocked," seems to be the real problem.

My MCC ID is 686-267-5503. We do have a pending "Financial services verification" notice at the top of our account.

Could this pending verification be causing our MCC to be blocked from accessing billing resources via the API? How can we get this resource unblocked?

Thank you for your help.
