Account limit has been reduced.

This usually happens when Facebook's risk system detects unusual activity on the ad account.
A reduced daily spending limit can be triggered by several things such as:
• Sudden increase in ad spend
• New or recently created ad account
• Payment method issues or declined charges
• Policy violations or rejected ads
• Unusual login activity (different locations / devices)
In many cases the limit returns gradually if the account activity stays stable.
A few things you can try:
- Keep campaigns running at a steady spend instead of increasing budgets too quickly.
- Make sure your payment method is working properly with no declined transactions.
- Avoid frequent edits to campaigns and ads.
- Maintain normal account activity for a few days.

I've also encountered this on Facebook. It's usually because the account is new or the payment system isn't stable yet, so the limit gets reduced. After a few days of consistent use and all payments are processed, the limit will increase again.

I’ve seen this happen a few times recently. Sometimes the daily spending limit drops when the ad account triggers risk checks or when there’s a sudden change in spending behavior. Gradually increasing the budget again and keeping the payment method consistent usually helps stabilize the limit over time. Also avoiding frequent card or billing changes can reduce the chances of limits being lowered.

Yes, I've also encountered situations where the spending limit on Facebook Ads is reduced. This is usually due to a newly reactivated account, payment history, or the system checking the account. Try running ads consistently for a few days and paying on time; the limit will usually gradually increase again.

This only lasts for a few hours. If your spending limit is reduced, you can chat with support or lower your payment threshold, and it will increase again afterward.

You could try setting the payment threshold to $2, then let the account continue paying. We often use this method and have a fairly high success rate.

If the account is new or the billing history is small, sometimes platforms lower the limit to reduce risk.
Usually the limit goes back up after consistent spending and successful payments for a while.

I've also seen this happening quite a lot lately. I lowered my account threshold to $2, and then the limit gradually increased again. Besides that, you should contact Facebook support directly.

Many people face this problem, not just you, I do too. I'm also using this method, and it seems quite effective so far. Lower the threshold, and it will automatically increase, or try switching to a better source.

Yes, this happens quite often. Usually it's related to account trust signals or recent activity patterns. What helped me was slowing down spending for a few days, keeping the account stable, and gradually increasing the budget again. Sometimes changing nothing and letting the system stabilize works better than making too many adjustments.

Yeah bro, happens sometimes, only way is contact support or wait for limit to reset.
This is incorrect; my account has been making payments consistently and has not committed any violations.
I didn't make any changes to my account, and suddenly my limit was reduced. I didn't make any mistakes.
I did the same thing, but some accounts still didn't get their limits increased.
It will take quite a long time; is there no way to solve it immediately?
Is there any other way? This method only works for some accounts

Yes that happens when your account is new and doesn't have stable spending history yet.
My account was created a long time ago and has a consistent spending history.

Yes, this usually happens after a risk review or recent policy issues. Keeping spend stable for a while sometimes allows the limit to increase again.
