The threshold is for reference only, it does not guarantee that the system will charge at that point. If the account is paid before the threshold, it is usually due to low trust or abnormal behavior. To limit this, you should keep a stable spending rhythm, increase the budget slowly, and avoid sudden large test camps. You should also use a clean wallet, a stable login environment, and not change payments continuously. As trust increases, the system will process standard payments and the threshold will increase over time.

It's a payment hold Meta is implementing nowadays even with verified BMs. It's probably random.

This is the hold order that Meta is currently implementing. To limit this, you should maintain a stable spending pace, do not suddenly increase the budget. When the rate of successful payments is high and there are no payment errors on the account, the reliability will increase, the system will process standard payments and the threshold will increase over time.

This depends on the budget on the ad, if the ad has a budget less than the threshold, there will be pre-threshold revenue.

Don’t pause your campaign when it’s close to $17
Many people pause their campaign when it’s close to $17 to “wait for the payment deadline” → Facebook still runs ads for a few minutes → charged again → still over $1–$2
Pay first and then pause if necessary

Please check the address of the advertising account, the account may have been taxed.

This account is not taxed, but most of my ad accounts have pre-threshold payment issues.

as i understand it your account is charging more than the threshold
you need to double check if the country on the account is taxable
what is the fee on your card when paying
to make sure you are not being charged too much
The threshold is just a guideline and doesn’t guarantee when the system will charge. Early charges often result from low trust or unusual activity. To avoid this, spend steadily, increase budgets gradually, use a clean wallet, stable login, and keep payment methods consistent. As trust grows, payments will normalize and the threshold will rise.

Your account is on hold. Don't worry, just keep spending steady and paying on time, the threshold will increase.

Meta uses a payment threshold system to automatically bill you when you spend a certain amount. But charges may slightly exceed the threshold due to:
1. Pending ad delivery — Ads keep running even as the billing system processes.
2. System delay — It may take a little time for Meta to charge once the threshold is hit, during which ads continue.
3. Multiple transactions — You may also get billed at the end of your billing cycle, even if the threshold wasn't hit.

Sometimes there's a 10–15 min lag between spending and when Meta pulls payment - if you're scaling fast, that lag matters.

Manually pay the balance before it hits the threshold to avoid auto-billing beyond the set limit.

To avoid exceeding the threshold, you should manually pay early before reaching the threshold or pause your ads when you are close to reaching the limit.

Do your other accounts have this problem, the account we use only pays when the spending threshold is reached

That is a hold order from FB. With a hold order there will be many different directions. The problem you are having is one of the ways to hold from FB.
