[Error] The project number associated with the request is not allowed when the 'internal-client' HTTP header is set

[Chris Shin]

Hello,

I am trying to fix Change History Alert script I have for Google Ads Script that suddenly stopped working. 

I query change_event informations and print the results into Google Spreadsheet. The script runs daily and used to run fine but stopped working on May 13, 2025.

I have below the query and the snippets of error messages I get in the log.

I am not sure what these errors mean. Especially the one with 'internal-client' HTTP header.

Please Help!

Thanks,

Chris

This is the query I am trying to run:

  const query = "SELECT " +
                "campaign.name, " +
                "ad_group.name, " +
                "change_event.change_date_time, " +
                "change_event.change_resource_type, " +
                "change_event.changed_fields, " +
                "change_event.client_type, " +
                "change_event.new_resource, " +
                "change_event.old_resource, " +
                "change_event.resource_change_operation, " +
                "change_event.resource_name, " +
                "change_event.user_email " +
                "FROM change_event " +
                "WHERE change_event.change_date_time DURING "+ CONFIG.PERIOD +" " +
                "AND change_event.user_email NOT IN ('"+ CONFIG.IGNORE_USERS.join("', '")+"') "+
                "ORDER BY change_event.change_date_time DESC "+
                "LIMIT 9999 ";

result = AdsApp.search(query);

Snippets of error log:

SystemError: Could not read from Google Ads at processAccount (Code:34:29)
