Your limits, enforced

Budget caps, a maximum change per step, cooldowns, protected campaigns and one switch that pauses all changes. All checked on the server.

The Policies screen with a switch to pause all changes, the automation mode, and fields for budget limits.

What it does

Policies are the rules the agent can't argue with: how much total daily budget is allowed, the smallest and largest campaign budget, how far one change can move, how long a campaign rests between changes, and which campaigns are off limits.

Why it matters

Automation is only worth having if you can say exactly how far it may go, and stop it at once. The limits come before any optimisation.

How it works

  1. Choose a mode: shadow, approval required, or limited automatic.
  2. Every proposed change is checked on the server, and again when you approve it, using fresh data.
  3. Budget increases always need your approval, in every mode.
  4. One switch pauses every change, automatic or approved. Reviews and recommendations continue.

Where it stops

  • The defaults are shadow mode, a 20% maximum change per step, a 24-hour cooldown and no automatic changes.
  • Limited automatic mode covers low-risk decreases and pauses only, and is part of the Growth and Pro plans.
  • Promotion limits are set separately from ad budget limits, because they're different kinds of money.
