My Facebook profile is disabled but ads on my ad account is still active!

If your profile is disabled but ads are still running, the account isn't being forced, it's just temporary. It's best to pause the campaign and monitor the situation with support.
I cant pause the campagn becouse i cant login on the profile
 
Hi everyone, i have problem with facebook profile, is disabled becouse i did one mistake. Meta ask me for verification that i am real person and i make video from my face and after that profile is disabled. But my campagn on ad account is still live. I have case with Meta but is too slow and i only get answer like case is still in process. Is 2 weeks actualy how i try to fix this wjth meta but still nothing. Any suggestions?
If your ads are still running, try to pause them via BM first to avoid extra spend. Then open a new ticket through Account Quality or Business Support chat (if available) instead of waiting on the old one. Make sure your ID info matches your profile exactly, and avoid spamming multiple appeals — it can slow the review. Unfortunately, 2–3 weeks processing time is quite common.

Usually, even if you verify your account and record a video, the chance of getting an account opened is almost zero. It's best to switch to a new account.
 
In some cases, even after completing verification steps like ID checks or video confirmation, account recovery can still be difficult. If the appeal process doesn’t lead to a resolution, reviewing the platform’s official guidelines and considering alternative options may be necessary. It’s always best to follow proper procedures to avoid future issues.
 
Meta reviews can take a long time, especially in identity verification cases. Two weeks isn’t unusual. Unfortunately, once the personal profile is disabled, your only real option is waiting for support to finish the review.

To be precise, a personal profile only has the right to adjust campaigns within an advertising account. If it is disabled, you can absolutely use another personal profile, which also retains account management rights, to create and manage your campaigns.
 
If the social profile gets banned due to unusual activity but the ad account inside is still spending, and you haven’t shared ad access with another profile, then the only option is to block or freeze the credit card attached to that ad account. That will stop the campaigns from spending until the social profile is restored.
 
Disabling the payment method by leaving the card with no balance is a good temporary fix, but I found that creating a new payment method in Business Manager and switching the ad account to it can help avoid any potential disruptions. In a similar situation, I had to wait 32 days for Meta to resolve the issue, and by switching the payment method, I was able to avoid any unnecessary charges. Additionally, using the live chat support in Ads Manager can significantly reduce the response time, I got a response within 2 hours compared to 5 days via email cases.
 
If your profile is disabled while ads are still active, it may indicate a temporary restriction rather than a permanent action. In this case, it’s usually wise to pause the campaigns and contact official support to clarify the situation. Monitoring the account carefully and following the platform’s guidance can help prevent further issues.
 
When you find yourself in a "lost-hand" situation—your ad account is still spending money but your profile is locked—don't just sit and wait for support from Meta. If you don't have a backup account to shut down your campaigns, immediately lock the linked credit card. This is a necessary "cut-off" measure to stop all spending. Then, patiently wait for the verification process (which usually takes 14 days or more) to regain control.
 
Once a profile has been approved and disabled, I recommend discarding it. Share ad account management rights to a new profile. During that time, lock your account's card to prevent any unfortunate incidents from happening.

Unfortunately this is pretty common with Facebook. Identity reviews can take weeks and support replies are usually generic.
If ads are still running, I’d avoid touching anything for now so it doesn’t trigger more flags.
Some people get resolution only after waiting it out, others after resubmitting verification if the option appears again.
 
In my experience, don't send too many new requests. Opening too many requests can slow down the process. Check your manager and make sure it's not violating anything else.
 
Yes, a deactivated profile is not related to the ads, so they will continue running, the ads only stop when the account is deactivated. First, you need to stop the ads: check if any other profiles still have access to the account, and block your card to prevent spending that you can't control.
 
When an account is disabled after verification, immediately go to Account Quality to identify whether the error was due to identification or a policy violation, and prioritize using Live Chat for faster resolution than email. The key to avoiding operational disruption is to always have a highly trusted backup Admin in Business Manager (BM) to maintain control of your campaigns. Don't wait until it crashes to find a solution; proactively grant permissions to clean accounts to protect your budget and advertising progress.
 
If an account has been disabled due to violating advertising policies, you can only wait for an appeal. However, if the violation is too serious for Facebook to consider removing your account, there's a very high chance that the account may not be restored.
 
You should temporarily block your payment card because if your account is blocked but the campaign on your ad account is still active, it will lead to a lack of control over the campaign's results. If you don't have a partner Business Manager or another partner owns the account, it's best to use a different account and forget about this one. Recovering a recent account is quite difficult.

Withdraw all funds from that payment card and the advertising account will automatically be suspended

Hi,


That situation can definitely be frustrating. If your profile on Facebook was disabled even after completing the face verification, it usually means the account is still under manual review by Meta. Unfortunately, these reviews can sometimes take several weeks, especially if the case was escalated.


A few things you can try:


  1. Keep your existing support case open and reply to it occasionally to ask for an update. Sometimes this brings the ticket back to an agent’s attention.
  2. If you still have access to Meta Business Manager, try contacting Ads Support through the ad account. Advertisers often get faster responses through the ads support channel.
  3. Check your email (including spam) for any additional verification requests from Meta. Sometimes they ask for ID or extra confirmation.
  4. Avoid submitting too many new appeals at the same time, because that can sometimes delay the review process.

Since your ad campaign is still running, it means the ad account itself hasn’t been fully restricted, which is a good sign. Most likely the case just needs to finish the review process.


Hopefully Meta resolves it soon. Good luck!
