I've found that this recommendation is later countered by an increased spend (budget or Max cpc) recommendation. It's not wise to chase spend recommendations which are based on averages over time. If you are considering this, AB test changes so you can see the effect on competitive metrics and conversion data, not just cost.

Needs to be evaluated. I'd guess you'll get more impressions and less clicks for same adspend.

My thought is, is your CPA low enough or your ROAS high enough? If not, drop it. If the opposite, raise it. Basic stuff.
