State Management

DRAFT_CAMPAIGN_PAUSED Draft Campaign is Paused

Draft Campaign Paused Status

The draft campaign is paused and not delivering metrics.

What causes this error?

This is more of a status indicator than a hard error. It means the draft campaign was manually paused—either by a human in the ad console, or by another automated software tool.

How to fix it

If it should be running, switch the state field to ‘ENABLED’ in your request payload to turn it back on. However, be sure to check why it was paused in the first place (sometimes it’s to protect margins!).
