My ads are approved, CTR and QS fine, but impressions are way lower than last week. Budget didn’t change. What could cause this?

Sometimes QS fluctuates slightly even if CTR looks fine; minor drops affect impression share.

Make sure your daily budget isn’t too low for peak hours, Google throttles impressions.

Check for overlapping campaigns or ad groups; they can cannibalize impressions.

It’s usually due to increased competition or audience fatigue try refreshing creatives, expanding targeting, or checking if CPMs spiked in your niche.

If it’s front-end issues, maybe your audience size shrunk, or competitors upped their bids. You could also check if your ad rank dropped a bit.
