Facebook account error not spending?

Advertise on BHW
We are currently facing this problem and really have no solution yet.
 
Accounts that are unheld but not spending may have a hidden flag. Try changing payment methods, creating a new campaign, or running a small budget to test. If still blocked, you may need another BM or a cleaner account.

This usually happens due to flagged payment methods, low trust scores, or Facebook’s internal review process. Try these:
  1. Change Payment Method – Use a fresh card or PayPal.
  2. Warm Up the Account – Run small, non-aggressive campaigns first.
  3. Check Business Manager – Ensure no hidden restrictions.
  4. Contact Facebook Support – Sometimes, a manual review is needed.

If the issue persists, the account might be shadowbanned for ad activity. Testing with a new profile or payment method can help.

Good luck solving!

What are the major factors that influence the trust score?
 
Replace the payment method completely, create a campaign with nature images.

do you try changing payment methods and adding new cards? And I think you should warm it up first by some bait campaigns

Bro, a lot of people are facing this issue lately. If your account got its hold approved but still isn’t spending, try these:
Run a test campaign: Create a low-budget campaign ($1-2) and launch it directly through your Fanpage to trigger spending.
Add a different payment method: Sometimes, Facebook requires additional verification. Switching to another card or using PayPal might help.
Start with a low budget: Don’t set a high budget right away. Begin with $1-5 and gradually increase it.
Run safe content first: Avoid jumping straight into heavy campaigns. Test with a "clean" ad, like a simple post promotion, to see if it spends.
If nothing works, your account might be flagged silently. In that case, switching to a new account could be the fastest solution.
 
Check if your card has enough money? Or check the page again, it is also the reason why the account does not spend.

When you have tried different ways without results. I think you should change to a new id. Then report that error account to FB for checking.
 
Without more context, my guess is that this is a processing delay or configuration issue – all too common with all the layered fintech systems out there in 2025. If you’re a business owner managing this (like your agency site idea), it could be that your payment integration isn’t finalizing the fees – a simple tweak will fix that.
 
Test spending on another ad account under the same BM.

. Use a different Business Manager (BM) and move assets.

. Contact Facebook Support if everything seems fine but still not spending.
 
some methods, like boost a new campaign, add new payment method, chat with FB support team.
 
Try adding new tags and posting more bait campaigns with a small budget.
