1) Analyze the product and creatives.
Is the product saturated? Are your creatives low quality/stolen content? This is no. 1 because 50% of the time, this is the problem. Review your product research strat and put some effort into finding or making content.

2) 4x budgets and force spend.
If your ad account is spending $1-$5/day (a small % of you daily budget) by raising the budgets you’ll raise the amount equal to that %. The account typically recovers after a few days of spending and normal budgets will perform.

5) Payment methods
Only seen it happen to 4-5 people before so it’s rare. If you’ve ever had a failed payment, fraud warning, small bank or any other red flag to TTs systems - your credibility to pay balance may be ruined. Swapping payment methods can very well solve this.
