I recently purchased a personal advertising account to run ads, but when I reach the payment threshold, my account doesn't automatically pay and always prompts me to pay manually. Does anyone know how to fix this error?
 
Which platform and payment method are you using? If it's a card and manual payment succeeds, ask the issuer whether it receives an automatic charge attempt at the threshold and why it's declined. A successful manual payment doesn't establish that automatic charges will work. If the issuer sees no attempt, send platform support the threshold timestamp and exact billing error, with card details removed.

My accounts using the same type of card can still be automatically processed, only some accounts cannot be automatically processed and require manual payment.
 
I had a similar issue before. Check your billing settings and payment method first. Some accounts simply require manual payments, especially newly purchased ones.
 
Check your billing settings, payment method, and automatic payment eligibility. Since the account was purchased, also verify ownership and payment permissions with the original provider.
 
I’ve encountered this situation before; you just need to make manual payments 2–3 times, and after that, your account should be able to process automatic payments.
 
Try to check whether automatic payments are enabled and if your payment method is verified with no billing restrictions.

Also, some ad accounts have different payment settings depending on their history and setup.

I'm a beginner, could you show me where the payment settings are?

Thank you for sharing this with me; I will try to check it.

No, it keeps failing when it reaches the payment threshold.

My card always has funds, and when I link it, it's always set to default payment mode.

Have you checked how to set up an automatic payment account?
Yes, when my account is always set to the default card.

Set the primary payment method as default and configure an automatic payment method for the account.
Can you share how to set up the default payment method for the account?
 
If the same card works on other accounts, ask platform support whether this specific account has any restriction on automatic threshold payments.
 
check if automatic payments are enabled and whether the payment method is properly verified. sometimes the billing threshold settings also take a little time to update.
 
Payment settings can vary between accounts, so it’s worth checking whether manual or automatic payments are available.
 
In my opinion, it is possible that your account is set up for manual payments, or that your chosen payment method does not qualify for automatic payments. You should check the "Billing" or "Payments" section, verify the status of your card, and review your payment settings. If everything appears to be in order, please contact Meta Support for clarification.
 
Check your payment settings; sometimes there are issues with linking a bank card. This often happens with new accounts simply verify your information, and everything should work as expected.

Set your payment method as the default, then perform 2–3 manual payments; this should completely resolve the issue. Afterward, your account will be charged automatically whenever the payment threshold is reached.
 
You could try contacting the account seller, they may have already created the account with manual payment configurations.

My accounts share the same card, and some accounts are still automatically processed normally; only some cards require manual payment.

When my account is linked to a credit card, I always set my card as the default, but that's not possible to automate the process with the account.

I have already set the default payment method on my account.

I appreciate this idea; I'm trying your method out. Thank you very much.

My card still has money, and it has been verified with the account, while several other accounts using the same card have made payments successfully.
 
first, you can try to change a new card.
