Many advertisers are seeing underperformance after recent Facebook updates.
1) Recent Meta Updates = Disrupted Learning
New campaigns are taking longer to optimize or failing to exit the learning phase.
2) Video Upload Error Bug
The "video couldn’t be uploaded" is a known glitch. If your ad runs and shows previews, it’s likely safe—but it can affect reach.
3) Cold Campaigns Burn Budget Fast
New campaigns with no prior engagement signals may burn cash before they stabilize.
Quick Fixes:
- Re-upload the video with a new file name to clear the upload bug.
- Restart with proven creatives from older campaigns.
- Use retargeting or Advantage+ Shopping for more stable delivery.
- Give new ads 3+ days before judging performance—avoid pausing/editing too soon.
