Solution:

• You can't run ads, manage advertising assets or create new ad or business accounts. Visit account quality for more information on why this happened and how to resolve it.

You can check whether you have 2FA set up at this link, as well as check the status of your business security settings here. If you don't yet have it set up, you can do it from there.

Error: A Business Can Only Claim One Ad Account At One Time

Error: You've reached your ad account maximum. You can increase your limit by making a payment on your business account. See your ad account limit in Business Manager (go to Business Settings, then Business Info).

Solution:

• Both these errors require the same fix.

• The Business Manager account you’re trying to move your ad account into already has an existing ad account in it. If the existing ad account IS related to the same business, check that it has a suitable payment method attached. Once you’ve confirmed a suitable payment method is attached, please select this ad account for your Eventbrite Boost campaign. Click here to check the ad account payment method.
