When a Meta account goes down, the violation codes that triggered it sit in API fields Ads Manager never renders — issues_info, ad_review_feedback, account-status history. These guides surface the specific enforcement logic by vertical and situation, then map the fastest reinstatement path back to active spend.
When Meta restricts, rejects, or suspends your ad account, the reason is in API data Meta doesn't surface in Ads Manager. Recovery starts with making that data legible — then routing the right appeal, anchored to the actual violation code.
All active ads disabled. The Ads Manager message contains no actionable information. The issues_info field holds the actual violation code — ComplyAi surfaces it and maps the targeted reinstatement path based on the code, not the generic message.
Ads Manager shows a generic policy message. The real reason lives in issues_info — a field Meta logs internally but never renders. Most rejection patterns are fixable once the exact code is visible. The generic message matches the underlying code only 23% of the time (ComplyAi Intelligence Graph, Q2 2026).
Spend capacity reduced, ad creation limited. Restrictions precede suspensions — the compliance signals that predict escalation are visible before Meta acts. 73% of suspensions are preceded by an unaddressed restriction (ComplyAi Intelligence Graph, Q2 2026). ComplyAi monitors continuously and resolves at the restriction stage.
Spend throttled without warning. DSL reductions are enforcement signals — Meta uses them to cap accounts before issuing a formal restriction. The triggering violation is logged in the API but never surfaced in Ads Manager. ComplyAi reads it directly.
All active ads disabled. New campaigns blocked. Find your vertical for the specific violation codes and reinstatement path.
Health claim violations and PROHIBITED_CONTENT_HEALTH_BEAUTY enforcement are the leading suspension triggers in the CBD vertical.
SupplementsEfficacy claims, before-and-after imagery, and personal attributes violations drive most supplement account suspensions on Meta.
Weight Loss / GLP-1The most aggressively enforced vertical on Meta. Pharmaceutical advertising constraints and wave enforcement can suspend entire account portfolios overnight.
Financial ServicesSpecial Ad Category misclassification and income claim enforcement are the primary suspension triggers in financial services accounts.
Gaming & RMGGeo-specific regulatory requirements layered on Meta's global policies create complex suspension triggers for gaming and real-money gaming accounts.
AlcoholAge-gating enforcement and content restrictions across the full ad-to-destination chain are the leading causes of alcohol advertiser suspensions.
Adult / PharmaPlatform-wide content enforcement and pharmaceutical advertising constraints make adult and pharma among the highest-suspension-rate verticals on Meta.
Generic policy messages. No explanation. Find your vertical for the exact violation codes triggering your rejections.
PROHIBITED_CONTENT_HEALTH_BEAUTY is the most common rejection code in the CBD vertical — appearing at 4× the Meta platform average.
View guide →SupplementsEfficacy claim language, ingredient references, and before-and-after creative patterns are the primary rejection triggers for supplement advertisers.
View guide →Weight Loss / GLP-1Pharmaceutical advertising constraints and personal attributes violations are the leading rejection codes for weight loss and GLP-1 advertisers.
View guide →Financial ServicesIncome claim language, interest rate references, and Special Ad Category misclassification generate the majority of financial services ad rejections.
View guide →Gaming & RMGReal-money gaming content triggers geo-specific enforcement that varies by jurisdiction — rejection patterns differ by country even for identical creative.
View guide →AlcoholContent restrictions, age-gating requirements, and landing page compliance failures are the leading rejection causes for alcohol advertisers.
View guide →Adult / PharmaAdult content enforcement and pharmaceutical advertising policy constraints produce rejection rates significantly above the Meta platform average.
View guide →Spend capacity reduced. Ad creation limited. Restrictions precede suspensions — find your vertical before it escalates.
Account restrictions in the CBD vertical typically precede full suspensions by 7–14 days. The compliance signals that predict them are readable before Meta acts.
View guide →SupplementsSupplement account restrictions are often triggered by accumulated ad-level violations before any single violation reaches the suspension threshold.
View guide →Weight Loss / GLP-1Enforcement wave activity in the weight loss and GLP-1 vertical can trigger simultaneous account restrictions across multiple advertisers without individual warning.
View guide →Financial ServicesSpecial Ad Category compliance failures accumulate into account-level restrictions faster in financial services than in most other regulated verticals.
View guide →Gaming & RMGGeo-specific compliance failures in gaming accounts often result in jurisdiction-level restrictions rather than account-wide actions — requiring vertical-specific resolution paths.
View guide →AlcoholAge-gating failures and content restrictions accumulate into account-level restrictions that block all campaigns, not just the flagged creatives.
View guide →Adult / PharmaPharmaceutical advertising restrictions frequently trigger account-level scrutiny that limits all campaign activity, including campaigns unrelated to the original violation.
View guide →Spend capacity cut without explanation. DSL reductions are enforcement signals — Meta uses them to throttle accounts before issuing a full restriction. Find your vertical.
Daily spend limit reductions in the CBD vertical are the most common early enforcement signal preceding account restrictions and suspensions.
View guide →SupplementsSupplement advertisers experience DSL reductions as a leading indicator of the ad-level violation accumulation that precedes account-level enforcement.
View guide →Weight Loss / GLP-1DSL reductions in weight loss and GLP-1 accounts often coincide with enforcement wave activity — impacting multiple advertisers simultaneously in the same vertical.
View guide →Financial ServicesFinancial services DSL reductions frequently follow Special Ad Category compliance failures — and precede the account-level restrictions that block all campaign activity.
View guide →Gaming & RMGReal-money gaming DSL reductions are often triggered by geo-specific compliance failures that limit spend in particular jurisdictions before affecting the full account.
View guide →AlcoholAge-gating and content compliance failures in alcohol accounts trigger DSL reductions as Meta throttles spend before issuing a broader restriction.
View guide →Adult / PharmaPharmaceutical advertising constraints generate DSL reductions at higher rates than most verticals — often without any single identifiable triggering ad.
