I cannot figure out why, all my ads are active, my ad account is not disabled, I didn’t have a billing problem. Does anyone have an idea as to what is happening?

Had that issue with an ingoing lead gen campaign. Checked and double check everything. No bid cap, same budget, same ad, same audience. Just refused to spend. Since i hadnt have the time to ask FB to resolve it, i duplicate the campaign and Voila! Works. I help the old campaign just in case it miraculously rise up from the dead.

@heger hmm, kind of annoying to have to duplicate my campaign and lose some optimization. But if it whats working then I may have to try it

Thanks for the suggestions everybody. Not sure why but my ads just started spending now, it was probably just some kind of error
