Hello,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. I’m James from the Google Ads Scripts support team. Let me assist you with your concern.

 

Google Ads scripts for advertiser accounts can execute for a maximum of 30 minutes, after which they will be canceled. However, if you’re using an Ads Manager script and you used the executeInParallel method to process accounts in parallel, and specify a callback method, then it can execute up to a maximum of 60 minutes before being canceled. To know more about the imposed limits and limitations within your Google Ads Scripts, you may refer to this documentation.

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

In addition to what James mentioned it's really helpful to know that the actual time to execute a particular script is not really really consistent. This seems to be entirely dependent on how much load Google's servers are under so you might find that a script executes in 20 minutes one time, and times out another.

Hello,

 

I concur with michael. Take note that based on our documentation, the imposed limits in Google Ads Scripts can change at any time without warnings, so ensure that your scripts are flexible and contain error handling.

Hi Team,

thank you for the reply but i m not asking how long i can run script. I want to know how many times I can run script per day and how many scripts ?
Example lets say I want to run script that changes budget of the campaign every 10 min but cron is of minimum Hourly. so I run 6 script 10mins apart. so the total is each scripts run 24 times per day and there are total of 6 scripts. and each scripts run for 2-3 mins.

so like this how many scripts I can run for 24 times in a day on MCC account ?

Hello,

 

Thank you for your clarification.

 

However, I would like to clarify that there are no limitations on the number of times a specific scripts can be run per day and as well as there would be no limitations on how many scripts can be executed per day.

 

With that being said, I believe that only imposed limitations in Google Ads Scripts are the one stated within the given documentation in my previous email. Also, there is a limit of 250 authorized scripts per account. This pertains to the email address/account you use to authorize scripts regardless of which ads account they were created.
