The ad-limiter available to all advertisers is a part of the platform’s attempt to help advertisers reduce costs and improve ad performance. The social media platform also released a tier-wise ad limit guide to encourage advertisers of different sizes to use an ad volume per page that optimizes their performance.
“When an advertiser runs too many ads at once, each ad delivers less often.

We discovered that four in ten running ads fail to exit the learning phase, and many of these ads come from advertisers running too many ads at the same time. For this reason, we are implementing a limit on the number of ads each page can run at once,†explained Facebook in a blog postOpens a new window .
