Saw multiple BMs getting restricted out of nowhere, but the ad accounts themselves were still active and spending normally. Main issue was being unable to edit ads or make changes inside the accounts.

Thankfully we already had contingency measures in place for situations like this, so operations weren’t heavily affected. Definitely a reminder that these platform-side issues can happen anytime.

Anyone else notice some weird Meta issues around May 15?

I just feel that the account hasn't reached its best state yet, like it was at the beginning of this year.

Yes agreed as my account also got affected. Facebook accounts are facing a shit storm nowadays.
 
Yeah, I saw similar chatter around that time. It's a total pain when you can't edit ads, but at least your ads were still running
 
I feel that this account isn't in good shape; it was better at the beginning of this year.
 
A lot of my ad campaigns were blocked that day
 
We saw some of that too. restricted bms on the 15th, but ads still running. annoying as hell when you can't tweak anything. luckily, we already built redundancies into our setup. auto-failover to backup accounts is standard practice for us. honestly, meta's backend stability is always a gamble
 
in recent days, from the beginning of May until now, Facebook still scans a lot of accounts, everything is worse than the first months of the year. I hope this storm will end soon.
 
If your campaign is still yielding good results , you can continue running it. You should also avoid unnecessary action like changing cards or kicking out admins, as this will increase the risk to your account , given the current meta's strict scanning
