About daily spending limits applied to Google Ads accounts

A daily spending limit determines the amount your Google Ads account can spend per day across all ad campaigns.

What can I expect?

When a daily spending limit is applied to your account, you’ll get in-account notifications about the new limit. The spending limit will take precedence over any campaign budgets you’ve set.

Spending limits won’t impact the performance of your ad, but your ads will stop running when you reach your daily spending limit. While the spending limit is in effect, your ad campaigns will remain active and will automatically resume running the next day.

Why does Google Ads apply a daily spending limit to accounts?

  • Your account is part of Google’s transparency efforts, where all advertisers will eventually complete advertiser verification
  • Your advertising behavior or your ad content was labeled as potentially suspicious
  • Your account is being investigated for suspicious activity

If it’s determined that the account is safe, the spending limit applied will be removed. Learn more about temporary pausing for account investigation.

What can I do to remove the spending limit?

The spending limit may be removed by:

  1. Completing advertiser verification, if you were asked to do so. Follow the link in your in-account notification to get started.
  2. Running ads that comply with the Google Ads policies during the investigation period.

To complete advertiser verification, you’ll need to:

  1. Answer a few questions about your organization. Submit your documents, which will be reviewed within 7 days.
  2. Verify your identity.

You may need to provide documentation which will be reviewed within 5 to 7 business days.

After you successfully complete advertiser verification, the daily spending limit may be removed from your account within 1 business day. You’ll be updated through an in-account notification. Learn more about how to complete advertiser verification

Note: If you’re prompted to complete advertiser verification, there’s no deadline to complete verification to lift the daily spending limit.
