It’s not about getting your work out there, your advertisements are live if they are producing results. The learning phase typically ends after 50 optimization events, so if your learning phase gets stuck, it might be because of one of these factors.

Meta usually needs about 7 days to optimize. If nothing changes after that, review your audience, budget, and ad creative.

If your campaign has been in the learning phase for 7 days then i would check whether it was getting enough optimization events. The learning phase does not always end after a fixed number of days. Low budget, small audience or limited conversions can keep it there longer.

Meta has definitely tightened automated flags on new Business Managers this month. Warm up the fan page first with low-budget engagement ads for 2-3 days before scaling any traffic. Saves a lot of headaches with instant restrictions

If it has been in learning for 7 days I’d check the delivery status and whether it’s actually spending. Meta says the learning phase depends on getting enough optimization events, so low volume can keep it there longer.

generally speaking, there is no fixed timeframe for the Facebook learning phase; 7 days is considered normal.

I suggest increasing your budget.
