In the Adstudio assistant
The assistant reads spend by day and ad set, ad set configuration and audiences, and the change history. It can change a budget or turn an ad set back on as a card you confirm.
Meta Ads · Spend dropped
Why did my Meta Ads spend drop?
Meta Ads spend drops when ad sets stop delivering: a lower budget, a bid or cost cap set too tight, an audience that is too small, rejected ads, or a reset after a large edit. Adstudio finds the ad sets whose spend fell, reads their status, budget and audience settings, and lines the drop up with the change history.
The numbers that matter
What to read first.
- Spend by ad set by day
- Shows when delivery stopped and where.
- Reach and frequency
- Reach flat and frequency high means the audience is used up.
- CPM
- A sharp CPM rise under a cost cap stops delivery.

- 01Find the day spend fell and the ad sets behind it.
- 02Check status: paused, rejected or ended.
