Last month, I worked with a crypto advertiser who scaled aggressively from $5K/day to $50K/day in less than a week. Revenue was skyrocketing until one morning, the BM was disabled. Overnight, the team lost all momentum, and panic hit.
Here’s what really happened:
✔️Creative Duplication: running too many ad sets with near-identical creatives triggered Facebook’s duplication filter.
✔️Budget Spike: scaling from $5K to $50K too fast without layering warm audiences raised red flags.
✔️Payment Issue: multiple failed charges on a single card created risk signals.
Most advertisers think a ban is purely bad luck but in reality, there are clear technical triggers behind it.
💡 How we recovered:
- Appeal with Context, submitted a structured appeal highlighting compliance efforts.
- Clone the Structure, rebuilt the campaign inside a backup BM, maintaining the same funnel logic.
- Multi-Payment Setup added 3 verified payment methods to reduce risk.
- BM Diversification kept at least 2 extra BMs warmed up to avoid single-point failure.
The account was reinstated after 4 days, but more importantly, revenue didn’t stop because the backup BM kept campaigns running.
👉 Lesson for every founder: troubleshooting a disabled ad account isn’t just a technical fix. It’s a survival skill. If your revenue stream depends on ads, you don’t “hope” Facebook won’t shut you down, you engineer resilience into your ad infrastructure.
