Facebook ads slowed down

Hi,
My ads have all of a sudden slowed down to a crawl. What could be the reason for this? Could it because of the different time zones? Does Facebook automatically slow down ads at night? My ads account is set to Los Angeles time zone, but my audience is 8 hours ahead

    I've seen a slowdown by FB in showing my ads, resulting in fewer people seeing them (and sometimes not using up my daily budget). No idea what's going on. I guess all we can do is ride it out.

    You know you can throttle your ads in Power Editor? If you set your adspend to monthly, you can control hours and days the ads appear. I'm not convinced it changes anything.

    Same situation here boys.

    I've noticed it when i'm creating new ads, or running grey/blackhat campaigns.

    The old method was to delete, duplicate, and resubmit the campaign for approval, but I quickly found that if you just leave the ad active, it will either spend the entire budget towards the latter part of that day, or it will kick back to normal the next day.

    An easy way to tell if your campaign is going to start spending shortly is when it shows "Spent $0.00 of $XXX", rather than the simple "Spent $0.00".

    This indicates that Facebook is prepared to spend your budget and they're in the process of placement.

    This is all my opinion based on my recent experiences.
