The Budget Pacing Monitor is a real-time budget tracking and forecasting agent that monitors budget consumption, identifies pacing issues, and recommends or implements budget adjustments to ensure optimal delivery. This skill provides continuous surveillance of daily and lifetime budgets across campaigns and ad groups, calculating pacing variance, forecasting budget exhaustion dates, and alerting marketers to critical over-pacing or under-delivery scenarios. It goes beyond simple spend tracking by diagnosing root causes (low bids, narrow targeting, learning phase issues) and providing corrective actions with forecasted delivery impact.

Automated categorization into Critical, Moderate, and Healthy pacing statuses
Root cause diagnosis for under-delivery (bid analysis, targeting constraints)
