Facebook Ad Account Disabled Right After Creating BM – Been There?

So here’s a fun one.

A few months back, I spun up what looked like a clean setup, and created a new BM. Did nothing fancy.

No campaigns. No assets connected.
Literally just clicked “Create BM” then 10 minutes later boom: ad account disabled.

No warning. No ad. No policy violation.
Just Meta being Meta :v

At first, I thought maybe the IP or device fingerprint got flagged. I switched setup, tried again with a fresh stack but same result - it gets auto disabled without touching anything.

So I tests across: Different GEOs, different warming patterns (scrolls, group joins, inbox triggers) and different page types connected to BM

What actually helped:
Creating the BM while the via had at least 24h of native FB activity
Joining random groups + engaging on posts before doing anything BM-related
Delaying BM creation to simulate a more human flow (log in → scroll → day later → create BM)

Still not bulletproof. But it gave me a ~70% survival rate across 10+ tests.

Anyone else noticed this weird “BM creation = account dead” logic recently?
Would love to hear your own experiences what worked, what didn’t.

Because this stage shouldn’t feel like Russian roulette.

Creating BM too soon after logging in will make your account vulnerable to being locked. You need to let your account operate normally for at least 1-2 days, perform basic interactions before starting to create BM to avoid your account being locked.

Avoid creating a Business Manager too soon; wait 1-2 days and engage normally to prevent account locking.

You should get used to the device and then create a message to avoid any abnormalities on your profile.

Don't create a Business Manager too early; leave the account active for 7 days first.

I think you created the Business Manager too early.

We usually interact and let the account operate normally for about 3–5 days.
Don't do anything unusual on the account.

I think it should be fine.

pre-warm account 24-48h, engage in groups, verify payment method early

run low-budget boosts before BM creation to warm ad account

Creating BM too early or on “cold” vias almost always gets insta-disabled.
