Stops ads

Pause your campaigns, ad groups or ads at any time in Ads Manager to stop accruing costs.

If you’re running a campaign with multiple ad groups, pausing one of those ad groups will stop running all the ads within that ad group, but won't impact the other ad groups in that campaign. If you stop running a campaign, you’ll pause all the ad groups within it.
