Sync, Frequency & Limits

What gets synced, cooldowns, rate limits, and plan caps.

What gets synced

When you connect a platform, SpendGuard syncs your ad accounts, campaigns, ad groups, and ads (excluding archived/deleted).

Sync timing

  • Initial sync runs automatically after connecting
  • Manual sync available from Settings ConnectionsSync Now
  • Cooldowns: Meta Ads every 6 hours, Google Ads every 24 hours

Typical duration: 1–2 min for small accounts, up to 10 min for large ones.

Plan limits

Your plan may limit the number of connections, synced ads, products per guard, and total guards. Check Settings Billing for details.

Troubleshooting sync

Sync not starting

Check connection status is "Active" and you're not in cooldown.

Taking too long

Normal for large accounts; keep the tab open.

Ads not showing

Verify the account has active (non-archived) ads and you selected the right account.
