Creative fatigue FB ads

It's easy to adapt to this, with Meta now having strict controls, your job is to comply. You can try innovating your campaigns, improving their quality to attract customers, and maintaining a stable budget.
 
Depending on the product, its lifespan will vary. You should maintain existing creations with a low budget while experimenting with new ones, maximizing reach to your target customer base.
 
It’s a mix of both, but today algorithmic saturation usually hits first—delivery narrows once Meta exhausts the most responsive pockets of your audience. For most accounts, refreshing creatives every 7–14 days is reasonable, faster for small audiences and slower for broad or high-spend setups.
 
It really depends on factors like audience size, product type, and budget, since every setup is different. That said, refreshing creatives on a regular schedule is important. Many advertisers update main creatives monthly while continuously testing new variations to keep performance from stagnating.
 
I completely agree with the idea of rotating hooks and refreshing creatives every 5-7 days to combat creative fatigue. It's interesting to see that many of you are experiencing similar issues with ad lifetime, with most ads having a lifespan of 2-4 weeks. I'd like to add that it's also important to consider the ad scheduling strategy, as mentioned earlier, focusing on the time when your target audience is most active can help increase engagement. What I'd like to know is, have any of you experimented with using Facebook's automated ad rotation feature, and if so, have you seen any significant differences in ad performance?
 
Users become bored due to information overload and algorithmic bottlenecks that limit the display of new content. A reasonable timeframe for changing ads is usually every 1-2 weeks, or when the frequency exceeds 3-4 times per user, in order to optimize performance.

1-2 weeks sounds right but honestly depends on spend.
Higher budget burns through audience faster, might need fresh creatives weekly.
Low spend can stretch it longer.
 
Facebook's algorithm is constantly changing, and Meta prioritizes creativity, so update your content every 5-7 days to avoid boring your customers.
 
It’s a good practice to review performance data regularly and refresh your ads every 7 days or so. After that period, creatives often lose freshness, and with Meta’s algorithms constantly evolving, updating content helps keep campaigns relevant and effective.
 
Is creative fatigue today due to user boredom or algorithmic distribution bottlenecks? What is a reasonable timeframe for people to change ads?
Currently, I'm seeing that campaigns don't last long. The distribution will vary depending on the target audience of each campaign. But generally, I see that campaigns only perform well for the first 1-2 days. After that, the spam file disappears.

It’s mostly algorithmic distribution, not user boredom — delivery concentrates fast, burns the same pockets, and performance drops even if people haven’t “seen it too much.” For most accounts, refreshing creatives every 7–14 days (or sooner if spend is high) is reasonable.
 
A reasonable interval is when ROI starts to fall or clicks become more expensive. But in reality, it's very difficult to say for sure, as many other factors can influence the metrics. The audience is really tired of creatives.
