Do Google Ads now require a $300 payment? Why is that?

The initial "warm-up" spend went fine, and no upfront payment was required then.

When the actual ads went live, a $20 prepayment was required, which was acceptable.
However, starting last week, a prompt asking for a $300 prepayment pops up every time the ads start generating impressions. Is this reasonable?

i just create one yesterday just 10$ , what country you choose ? i think if you created multiple accounts maybe they linked !!!!!!!!!!

I use separate Google accounts, each paired with a unique IP address and the AdsPower antidetect browser, and each has its own dedicated payment profile.
During the warm-up phase, I ran ads—using both video and search formats—featuring my own copyright-free YouTube videos of landscapes. Throughout the registration and the seven-day warm-up period, I didn't encounter any issues with upfront payment charges.
On the eighth day, I launched my actual ads, and a $20 upfront charge appeared. Fine, I paid the $20.
But on the ninth day, as soon as my ads started generating impressions, a $300 upfront charge popped up... Did I do something wrong?

You can check whether your account settings are set to manual payments or automatic payments.

Up until last week, this VCC was working normally—requiring a prepayment of at most $20 before running ads—but since last week, I’ve been seeing a large number of $300 prepayment requirements. I tried using several different BINs, but the result was the same. Is this a Google bug, a recent update, or am I doing something wrong?
