Since updating to new Google Ads Script Experience - The AdsApp.ads() seemingly returns an Ads Variations that were created manually on Google Ads.

This causes issue downstream since there is no distinguishing variable between a normal Ads and Ads created in the backend by Ads Variation.

Resulting in script stopping from "Unknown error" - when trying to pause the ads for example.

Would be very helpful if there any any ways to determine that an Ads is not a real Ads but ones from Ads Variation.

I believe this is a bug - since this issue did not happen in the old version.

Thank you
