View Running or In Review Status

To see if an ad is running or in review, we check effective_status, then configured_status, and the ad account's status:

• If an ad has effective_status of 1 - active, we consider it in running or in review state.
• If an ad has configured_status of active and effective_status of 9 - pending review or 17 - pending processing, we consider it a running or in review.
• The ad can be running or in review only if the ad account status is in 1 - active, 8 - pending settlement, or 9 - in grace period.

We also determine if an ad is running or in review based on the ad set's schedule:

• If start time is before current time, and current time is before end time, then we consider the ad running or in review.
• If start time is before current time and the ad set has no end time, we also consider it running or in review.

For example, if the ad set is scheduled to run in the future, the ads are not running or in review. However, if the ad set is scheduled to run from now until 3 months from now, we consider the ads running or in review.

If you are using special ads scheduling features, such as day-parting, we consider the ad running or in review the whole day not just for the part of the day when the ad starts running.
