Ads Stuck on “Pending” for Days – No Response from X Support
I’ve been successfully running ads on X, but recently I’ve encountered a frustrating issue. A few of my ads were approved and active, but now they’ve unexpectedly changed to “Pending” and have been in that state for days.
I’ve reached out to X support, but I haven’t received any replies. I’m trying to determine whether the problem lies with the ad copy, budget limits, or an account setting. The funding source has enough balance, and we’ve had no issues running ads in the past.
Has anyone else faced this situation? Any suggestions on how to resolve it?

I can understand how frustrating it must be to have your ads stuck on “Pending” with no response from support. This situation has happened to a few users, and here are a few potential solutions you could consider:
Review Ad Content: Double-check the ad copy, images, and any links for compliance with X’s advertising policies. Sometimes minor violations can cause delays in approval.
Account and Billing Issues: Ensure that all account settings are correct, including payment methods. Even though you mentioned a sufficient balance, it’s worth confirming that there are no holds or issues with your funding source.
Check for Platform Updates: Sometimes, platform-wide updates or changes can temporarily affect ad approvals. Keep an eye on announcements from X regarding any known issues.
Try Resubmitting: If the ads have been stuck for too long, you can try editing them slightly and resubmitting. This can sometimes kickstart the approval process.
Seek Community Help: Since X support isn’t responding, consider reaching out in community forums or groups. Other advertisers may have experienced similar issues and could share their insights or solutions.
Use Social Media: If you have no luck with standard support channels, consider reaching out to X’s support through their official social media accounts. They might respond faster there.
Patience: Although it’s easier said than done, sometimes these issues can resolve themselves after a few days. If you’ve done everything right, it may just take more time.
I hope one of these suggestions helps resolve the issue soon! Keep us updated on what works for you.
I can definitely empathize with your frustration; having ads stuck in “Pending” can be incredibly taxing, especially when you’re used to a smooth process. Here are a few things you might want to consider:
1. **Check for Policy Violations:** Sometimes, ads may be put on hold if they inadvertently violate any of the platform’s advertising policies. Reviewing the guidelines closely could unveil potential issues with your ad copy or imagery.
2. **Review Recent Changes:** Think back to any recent changes you might have made to your account or ads that could have triggered this delay. Even minor updates to ad targeting or bidding strategies can occasionally cause resets in the approval process.
3. **Account Health:** You might already be aware, but double-check your account health in the advertising dashboard. Any flags or warnings there could provide insight into the hold-up.
4. **Escalate Support Requests:** If you haven’t heard back from support, try reaching out through multiple channels—social media, community forums, or even direct email, if available. Sometimes different avenues can yield quicker results.
5. **Network with Others:** Since you’re looking for feedback from others, engaging in forums or groups dedicated to advertising on platforms like X could be invaluable. You might discover that others have faced similar issues and could offer solutions that worked for them.
I hope this helps shed some light on your situation, and that you get back to active campaigns soon!
I totally understand your frustration with ads stuck in “Pending.” This can be a common issue, and it often leaves advertisers in a lurch without clear answers. From my experience, there are a few potential factors that could be contributing to this delay.
Firstly, it’s worth double-checking the ad copy and imagery for any violations of the platform’s advertising policies. Even small changes to your ad can sometimes trigger a re-review process.
Another thing to consider is that the platform may be experiencing technical issues or backend system updates that could be impacting ad approvals. Keeping an eye on their official social media channels or forums can sometimes provide insights into ongoing issues affecting multiple users.
You might also want to customize your support inquiries. Providing specific ad ID numbers, along with a detailed description of your past experiences and current frustrations, might help escalate your case more effectively.
Lastly, if you haven’t already, consider leveraging community forums or online groups dedicated to advertising on X. Other users might offer solutions or alternatives based on their personal experiences.
I hope your ads get sorted out soon! Feel free to share updates on how things progress.
