Foxwell Digital Meta Status
Foxwell Founders Are Currently Reporting The Following Platform Issues
12/28/2025
When duplicating or copy pasting ads/assets, Meta randomly switches the Facebook Page identity to a different Page. Most often in agency accounts, even when no Page change is intended. This can reset whitelisted ads and makes moving assets between campaigns unreliable.
This is a known Meta duplication/identity bug. It’s inconsistent, worsening, and not tied to user actions; advertisers must manually re-check Page identity after every duplicate/copy to avoid mis-launches.
12/11/2025
5:00 am PST - Meta is throwing the error “param child_attachments has too many elements” even on a simple partnership ad using a single IG Reel. This normally relates to carousels or catalog-driven creatives, but in this case it keeps firing even after disabling catalog, removing enhancements, and rebuilding the ad — meaning it’s a Meta-side bug in how the system is interpreting partnership ads + creative attachments.
11:26 am PST - A brand-new ad account isn’t spending despite valid billing, normal budgets, and clean setup. It briefly spent a few dollars, then froze entirely. The only oddity is that the primary card is labeled “backup,” but since it successfully billed once, the issue isn’t payment—it’s Meta’s common “new-account throttling” bug where fresh ad accounts get stuck in an internal review or pacing freeze.
This is not a user-error issue — it’s a Meta delivery bug/limitation with new accounts.
2:00 pm PST - Meta is currently misattributing conversions—reporting more conversions at the ad set level than at the individual ad level. This is a reporting discrepancy bug that’s been happening especially on newly launched ad sets this week.
It’s a Meta reporting bug, not a performance issue or setup mistake.
12/10/2025
7:30 pm PST - Meta is throwing a false “conflicting Instagram user IDs” error during ad publishing, even when only one IG identity is actually selected. This is a current platform-side bug—multiple advertisers are reporting it, and it’s not caused by permissions, identity selection, or partnership settings.
12/8/2025
9:30 am PST - Meta is auto-generating backgrounds in catalog ads even when all AI enhancements and automatic adjustments are turned off. This is a known Meta glitch where catalog ads ignore user settings and apply creative enhancements anyway, even when they’re explicitly disabled.
Meta has stated: “For catalog ads, creative optimizations may be applied automatically to improve predicted performance.”
Catalog ads often ignore enhancement settings, and recent weeks show a spike in unwanted auto-generated backgrounds.
12/5/2025
10:30 am PST - Meta quietly enabled Automatic Adjustments (auto-applied recommendations) in many ad accounts — even if advertisers never turned them on.
Meta globally rolled out Automatic Adjustments tied to their “Opportunity Score.”
Default state = ON, unless you manually turn them off. So the underlying automation is real — the inconsistent behavior is the bug.
12/3/2002
8:40 am PST - A member experienced a sudden drop in outbound clicks / LPVs along with a major spike in cost per LPV overnight, despite no changes on their side and stable cookie opt-ins.
This type of one-day “cliff drop” is commonly caused by a temporary Meta bug or reporting inconsistency, not advertiser changes.
11/29/2025
5:30 pm PST - Meta Payment Failure When Switching Default Card
Meta sometimes blocks new payment methods BEFORE even attempting a real authorization. It happens most often when the account has a large outstanding balance or multiple recent declines. This could happen because it refuses to switch the default payment method until the new card passes an internal risk check
11/28/2025
8:30 pm PST - Multiple ad accounts suddenly unable to process payments within minutes of each other.
Three separate accounts experienced payment processing failures at the same time — indicating a platform-side issue, not isolated billing problems.
11/26/2025
8:25 am PST - Extreme early-day budget over-delivery + key ad sets not spending.
Meta is spending 80%+ of daily budgets before 12pm ET across many accounts — especially on cost cap and bid cap campaigns — while some historically strong ad sets are suddenly not spending at all.
11/25/2025
10:00 am PST - Hourly breakdowns in Ads Manager not loading.
Users are selecting “Breakdown → By Time → Hourly,” but the table never loads — data stays blank or stuck in a loading state for the entire day.
11/24/2025
12:00 pm PST - Headline overrides when applying a Stories placement asset to a Post ID ad.
When a user selects an existing Post ID and then adds a Stories-specific asset under placement customization, Ads Manager momentarily replaces the headline with the destination page’s meta title instead of the headline from the original post.
11/21/2022
10:00 am PST - Text Field Input Glitching / Auto-Jumping While Typing
While building ads, the text editor inside Ads Manager is malfunctioning — typed text disappears, cursor jumps to the end of other text blocks, and fields overwrite themselves. This forces buyers to copy/paste instead of typing directly. Refreshing helps temporarily, but the issue is widespread today.
10:00 am PST - Aggressive early-day over-delivery on Bid Cap campaigns.
This aligns with a known pacing instability currently affecting Meta accounts (especially bid cap & cost cap). When this happens, Meta’s pacing system ignores usual distribution rules and dumps spend early in the day.
10:20 am PST - Users cannot accept or join new Business Manager invitations.
Multiple media buyers have reported the exact issue today — it is not caused by the advertiser, not permissions-related, and not fixable on your end.
11/20/2025
11:14 am PST - “Missing Instagram user ID” Error
Meta is failing to detect the connected Instagram account at the ad-level — even when the IG account is correctly connected in Business Manager and Page Settings.
7:55 am PST - Meta Is Massively Over-Pacing Daily Budgets in the Morning (PST Accounts Hit Hardest)
Advertisers are seeing 50–70% of their daily budgets spent before noon ET, even in accounts that normally pace steadily and don’t ramp until early afternoon. This has been happening for multiple days, across multiple accounts.
11/19/2025
4:00 am PST - Some products cannot be tagged in organic posts
A client can tag certain products in organic posts but others fail to appear as taggable, even though nothing is wrong in Commerce Manager. This is almost always a Shop/Catalog sync glitch or a Meta bug affecting product availability for tagging.
8:30 am PST - Meta Auto-Checks “Show as Carousel” When Using the “Show Products” Enhancement
When advertisers turn on Show products (product tiles below an ad), Meta is automatically enabling the “Show as carousel” option — even if the advertiser did NOT select it. This causes single-image or video ads to be silently converted into full carousel ads based on the selected product set.
2:52 pm PST - Dynamic Creative Error Incorrectly Triggered
The interface shows Products OFF, but the backend still thinks part of your creative belongs to a product-enabled setup, so it requires a product set.
11/18/2025
12:00 am PST - Pixel is firing duplicate events, causing inflated 7DC attribution and inconsistent 7DC vs. 7DC1DV reporting.
4:00 am PST - Ads cannot be toggled on; duplicating and retrying doesn’t fix the activation error.
6:11 am PST - Cloudflare is down, causing client websites and checkouts to stop functioning.
10:55 am PST - Duplicated ads display the same thumbnail in Ads Manager and Ad Library, even though the actual creative in auction is correct.
12:45 pm PST - Pixel suddenly receives 300k–500k+ fake purchase events, even with domain allowlists in place.
2:33 pm PST - Ads are being shut off due to “Creative status is WITH_ISSUES” and an internal processing error when creating ad creative.
