I've seeen this happen when CPC gets too high, Google burn through the budget fast, but the actual click volume stays low.
Why does google spend full budget but not bring enough clicks?

In some competitive sectors, your competitors use software to generate bot clicks. This inevitably leads to unnecessary competition between advertising sites and increases cost per click. However, unfortunately, most of these are not counted as invalid clicks by Google. Google's tracking is inadequate.

Maybe you could retain some high-quality, high-click keywords to focus your budget more effectively... or change your ad copy

Usually its high competition or expensive keywords, Google can spend the budget fast even when click volume stays low and CPC keeps changing.

Review your search terms, competition and Quality Score. With CPC going up, you can run out of budget faster with fewer clicks even though campaign settings are the same.

Ad relevance also matters. if CTR drops or quality score is weak, platform may charge more per click, which means fewer clicks for the same budget.
Try check your keywords, targeting and ad copy first and Sometimes CPC goes high because of more competition or low ad relevance. Try some new keywords, improve your ads and give some time to see what is working better because Small changes can help to improve clicks and results.
Compare different placements and audiences. One part of the campaign may be using most of the budget at a higher CPC.
