AD_GROUP_ARCHIVED Ad Group is Archived

Ad Group Archived Mutation

Cannot perform operations on an archived ad group.

What causes this error?

You tried to modify, enable, pause, or tweak a ad group that was previously archived. In Amazon Advertising, ‘Archived’ means permanently deleted. It is entirely immutable.

How to fix it

You cannot bring an archived ad group back to life. You’ll need to create a brand new ad group if you want to run it again. Also, make sure to add logic to your scripts so you filter out ‘state: ARCHIVED’ items going forward!
