Ever got your Ad unapproved in the middle of a campaign?

Hello People
I'm currently running my first Facebook Ads Campaign for a song I released in Summer. Everything went well, I created a conversion campaign with Toneden and had good results in the first two days (around 0.11$/Conversion).
Today I suddenly got a message in the app saying my ad didn't get approved - although the ad was already running for two days? I needed to resubmit the ad, and an hour later the ad is running again.
Did anyone here experience this too? Or do you think it is just an error in Facebook's Ad Manager App?
Thanks 😎

My account has been completely disabled for advertising. It happened within 48 hours of running ads. The reason given is:

"This ad account, its ads and some of its advertising assets are disabled because it didn't comply with our Advertising Policies or other standards"

But none of my ads were flagged for violations. At this point, I'm waiting for a response on my appeal since I have no clue what I may have done wrong.

That's weird too.. Maybe someone flagged your post anonymously?
My Ad seems to run normal again right now. I guess it really just was a glitch in the Facebook-Matrix 😉

I had this happen and did the same thing as you to bring it back, very strange! Facebook has been incredibly aggressive with restricting ad accounts and rejecting ads lately, roughly 50% of the people I talk to either had their accounts restricted in the past month or recently got restricted. I believe it has to do with the election.

After about six weeks of waiting for a response to my appeal, this is what I got back from Facebook:

"After further review of your Facebook account, we found you didn't comply with our Advertising Policies (https://www.facebook.com/policies/ads) or other standards. You will no longer be allowed to advertise and your access to features for managing ad and business accounts will remain limited.
The Facebook Business Team"

So basically, they completely ignored my polite request to get further clarification on what my supposed violation was.

I did some research about people getting their Facebook ad accounts disabled. I found that people who identify themselves as experts have entire processes to keep their access. From "warming up" their accounts to growing a multitude of accounts within their business manager over time in case one of the accounts gets disabled. They even suggest you may need to use accounts from friends and family if Facebook bans you completely. The consensus seemed to be that everyone that uses Facebook long enough will eventually get one of their accounts disabled.

I've decided for now to just focus more time on making more music and content for my socials. I'm going to put aside the idea of advertising for now. If I do decide to get back into advertising, I will try my luck with Google / YouTube.

At this point, even if I could get my Facebook account restored, I think I would just take my business elsewhere. It's too much of a time waste to invest in using an ad platform that so easily kicks many people out for reasons that are probably erroneous while providing absolutely no useful feedback or recourse. I'm sure it can happen on any platform but my experience with Facebook is just negative.
