Interstitial AD frequency in testing mode

[BillQ]

Hello,

I appreciate deeply for any comment/suggestions for the following.

I have integrated interstitial into my game app, which is not officially published yet.  So I've been testing it using testing devices.  I set up an Interstitial Ad unit with a frequency cap of 3 impressions per day.  However, this frequency cap seems not being respected.  Each time a user finishes a level in my app I will call AdMob API to show the ad.  I expect to see 3 ads per day according to the frequency cap.  However, so far I have seen ad each time I finish a level during testing.

I wonder if it is supposed to be like this for the testing device and when the app goes live, the ads will follow the frequency cap.

Thanks again,

Bill

Hi Deepika,

I think I figured out the issue.  I didn't reuse the same Interstitial Ad object.  Instead, I created a new one each time.  However, my AD unit is set to 3 per day.  So I am not seeing AD anymore so far.  I guess it's due to the low frequency.  

Actually, do you have any suggestion as to what value might be more appropriate?

Thanks,

Bill

Hi Bill,

Glad that you were able to figure out the issue. You can always set no frequency capping if you do not want to have a limit. If you are setting a limit, this is something up to you and you can set by minute/hour or day. 

Let us know if you have any other questions. We will be happy to help!
