Question

Is anyone experiencing abnormally high spend in their ad accounts in the last hour? The same thing happened to us yesterday but seemed to resolve itself later in the evening but now we are experiencing the same thing.

Yes same here.  

Answer 11

Yup. It all over guys

Answer 12

LOL I freaked out earlier Because I have rules on my adsets to shut off after so much cost per purchase and got notified it blew the budget and did not shut off. Which is really weird. Yesterday was fine today not so much.

@withers9180 yes me to!  

Answer 20

Has anyone found peace with this? Heard from a rep that it will be addressed and refunded as it often is? Usually takes a few months for them to automate refunds due to impact.  

Answer 21

Election season

Answer 22

Yes ken

Answer 23

Don't worry guys, if anything goes wrong they will refund you 20 cents for each 1 thousand dollars you've spent  

Answer 24

My CPMs are still crazy high. Yours too? Don't know what to do

Comments

@goulash for me it still didn't get better.  

Answer 25

Same . honestly might be seeing early spike in ad spend from US Presidential election starting up. I heard Trump alone is dropping 1 billion within FB alone. Thoughts?

@precautious1 I'm in Germany and it's the same

Answer 26

My cpp is randomly way up too
