The change is designed to help campaigns move through the \u201ccold start\u201d phase with enough spend for Google\u2019s models to learn and optimize effectively.

Current Demand Gen campaigns running below the minimum will continue serving. However, any future edits to budgets or scheduling will require compliance with the new floor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why we care.<\/strong> For advertisers and developers, this adds a new compliance layer to campaign management workflows.
