Meta needs about 50 conversions in 7 days per ad set to exit the learning phase. These edits send it back to zero.
These RESET learning
Big budget change in one go (more than about 20%)
Adding a new ad or editing the creative
Changing targeting or the audience
Changing the optimization event or bid strategy
Pausing the ad set for 7 days or more
Safe way to scale
Raise budget by up to 20%, once every 3–4 days
Make edits once a week, all together
Test new creatives in a NEW ad set, not the winning one
Wait 3–4 days after any edit before you judge it
Not reaching 50 conversions a week? Optimize for an earlier event (like Add to Cart) or combine ad sets.
Weekly routine
Mon: check results, make all edits at once.
Tue–Sun: don't touch the ads.
Every 3–4 days: +20% budget on ad sets that are profitable.
New creative? New ad set.
