Yup i remember this started few days ago, never had this problem before.
I tried delete that ad and created a new one, but still not serving.
Did you get it to serve?

Yah in my case the new ad was serving. I stopped the previous ad then created a new ad and then deleted that previous ad.
Ah! Good for you! No luck over here. Wish someone know why is this happening

Can you delete all those promotions then create a new ad with changes in audiences?
I tried that already! Been doing that since last night ;(

Leave it active and don't touch ir for 24hrs - it'll launch almost exactly after that
OK I am going to try that then! Do you know the reason why by any chance?

This has been happening a lot for me recently on Instagram, so I shortened the link on the Ad to check if the clicks were coming through from it and they were. Seems it just takes a while for them to start registering the CPC and even then it's not 100% accurate so yeah I suggest using a link shortener so you can get your actual CPC.
Thanks! So are you saying it is serving but it is not showing only?

It's possible, mine don't normally take that long maybe 3-4 hours sometimes. But to check if it is actually happening, you can use the link shortener. I suggest just using the google shortener as I have never had any issues with fb or insta removing them.

If you're getting clicks and see no action in ads panel, then choose the correct date on the top right corner 
) also happened to me!

Ah got it! But I don't think I am getting clicks! Not delay. It's just not serving ;(

I'm not sure then, It's just an idea anyway. Is your ad scheduled to run in the future by accident?
Nope! I sat it to be active right away.

Has happened to me tons of times. Once I suspected it was subtle censorship, cuz I ran a very political post that was meant to attract controversy. Nothing offensive, just political fodder. It began spreading like wildfire then FB suddenly halted it and the ad budget was left intact for the rest of the week.
So the only way the solve it is modify it? Or waiting will help
