Update (Oct 1, 2019): We have updated the error codes that will be returned in the table below.
Starting October 14, 2019,
accelerated budget delivery will no longer be available for use with search campaigns, shopping campaigns, or shared budgets. This will affect budgets in all versions of the AdWords API, Google Ads API, and Google Ads scripts.
All three developer surfaces will stop accepting
ACCELERATED delivery method setting on budgets for search campaigns, shopping campaigns, or shared budgets. Campaigns using accelerated delivery with these campaign and budget types will be automatically migrated over to
STANDARD delivery, starting October 7, 2019.
Note: When a new budget is created using the API or scripts,
it is shared by default. Thus, a newly created budget will behave as
STANDARD. To explicitly create a budget with
ACCELERATED delivery, all of the following conditions must be met:
- The budget’s
isExplicitlyShared field is set to false
- The budget’s delivery method is set to
ACCELERATED
- It is not associated with a search or shopping campaign post creation
Affected API and scripts operations
After this change goes into effect, API clients and scripts will no longer be able to use the
ACCELERATED delivery method setting on search campaigns, shopping campaigns, or shared budgets. Any programmatic operations that create or modify such budgets, or that would result in the following states, may result in errors according to the following criteria.
*For the Google Ads API beta, an analogous OperationAccessDeniedError.ACTION_NOT_PERMITTED will be thrown.
If you have any questions about this change, please don’t hesitate to contact us via the
AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum or the
Google Ads scripts forum.
