Google Ads Google Ads is experiencing issues right now (May 19, 2026)

Heads up for publishers & ad ops teams: Google Ad Manager is currently experiencing significant issues.

Symptoms reported:

Error messages
High latency
Unexpected behavior
Some networks unable to create or activate line items

Specific error:
“This change will exceed the number of active line items allowed”

Google says engineering identified the root cause and is working on a fix.
Currently no workaround.

Incident started around 12:06 UTC.

Another reminder that when delivery/reporting/platform behavior suddenly looks irrational… sometimes it actually is the platform.

Meta is redesigning their status page on May 18. Place your bets on whether outages actually get reported this time 🤣

Meta is giving Ads its own section on the status page starting May 18.
Previously buried under “Business Tools” next to the Horizon Device Manager, now Facebook Ads Manager, Marketing API,
Messaging Ads and friends get their own dedicated row of green checkmarks. A whole section just for ads outages! Progress 😵
