Suddenly increasing the budget too high also affects the advertising, it is not good, I usually increase no more than 30% and monitor then adjust to increase again

Hi there! I totally get this issue - rapid budget increases trigger Facebook's review systems! Here's what's working best: increase budget by maximum 20-25% every 2-3 days, never more than 50% at once.
For scaling, try this in Ads Manager: duplicate your winning adsets with slightly different audiences (1% vs 2% lookalikes) rather than just raising budget. This spreads risk and avoids triggering limitations.
Use "Cost Cap" or "Bid Cap" bidding to maintain control during scaling. I've seen accounts avoid review delays by combining gradual increases (20% every 48 hours) with horizontal scaling through duplicates.
Also check "Account Quality" regularly - accounts with good scores handle budget increases better.
What's your current daily budget, and have you tried the 20% rule with duplicating successful adsets instead of just increasing spend?

When increasing your ad budget, it's important to do so carefully to avoid getting your ad stuck in review or being limited. Instead of doubling your budget, increase it by 10% to 20% at a time. This allows the system to learn from the change without impacting your ad performance too much. After each increase, monitor your ad's performance for a few days to make sure it's still performing well.

If you increase your budget too quickly, FB will consider it an unusual behavior. If you do it regularly, your account will be easily banned. In my opinion, you should increase it gradually, a little at a time, which will be better.

Better to scale slowly (10–20% every 24h). Duplicating ad sets can work too, but too aggressive scaling often triggers review/limits.

I see, keeping increases under 30% makes sense. But if I want to scale faster, is duplicating the adset working better for you? Or do you have another way to push budget quickly without triggering reviews?

Got it, makes sense. When duplicating, do you usually test new audiences (like 1% vs 2% lookalike), or just keep the same audience to scale faster?

Right now, slow scaling (10–20% budget increase every 24–48h) is much safer than duplicating adsets, since duplication often triggers extra reviews and resets learning.

Yeah makes sense, slow steps avoid reviews. Have you tried mixing % increase with duplicating adsets to push faster scaling? Wondering if that works better long-term

I don't do that, I combine keeping the budget % increase and Create a new ad set with a higher budget. This allows you to test new budgets without affecting the performance of your current ad set. You can try this, I find it quite effective.

I usually increase the budget little by little each day for campaigns that are performing well. Don’t raise it too quickly or suddenly, or Facebook might flag it as unusual and review your campaign. It’s safer to stick to about a 30% increase from your current budget

you should increase slowly (10–20%), sudden jumps can trigger review or even risk a ban. GL bro

Do you have a % step that feels safest for you when increasing gradually?

You have tested it, you increase your budget too quickly, you will be audited by the card, then the most suitable plan is to slowly increase the budget.

Increasing your budget too high suddenly can also affect your ads, scaling slowly (increasing your budget by 10–20% every 24–48 hours) is much safer than duplicating underperforming ad groups.

I usually increase my budget by 20-30% every 2 days for stable ad groups. Duplicate adsets are still effective when used to scale campaigns horizontally but shouldn't be used to scale budgets directly because it's easy to reset learning. With Meta now, slow and controlled scaling is the way to keep accounts alive and ads stable.

Increasing your budget by about 20% is fine. You should increase it gradually and avoid sudden jumps to prevent detection by Facebook and having your account warned. Slow and steady is still the safest way.
